What Fans Are Saying About The Englishman:
“What an emotional journey this was. The book stayed with me for a long time after I had finished reading it. I have already started to read the authors next novel.” ~ Annelis
“The Englishman was marvellous! It was such a page turner and I found myself sneaking off quickly after breakfast and lunch to get some more reading in. You created such strong characters and always kept the suspension unbearable so I had to go back quickly and find out more. Thank you for such a wonderful piece of writing.” -Reviewer
“A delightful love story. After reading Helena’s blog it was wonderful to read the entire story. I would recommend this book.” –Mary
