A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES. From a 5 Star review on World Cat: "Master of historical detail, Marilyn Clay writes with intelligence and lyricism. In this page-turning tale of adventure and suspense, four young ladies set out for the New World on a Bride Ship from England in 1620. All four girls are looking for love, husbands and the dream of a new life. "However, each girl carries a secret and once they reach Jamestown, the girls are instead drawn into a twisted web of lies and deceit that prevents each of them from finding the happiness they seek. It falls to one young lady to unravel the long dead secrets that lie just below the surface in the Jamestown settlement. As in Marilyn Clay's former Jamestown novel, DECEPTIONS, the colonial village springs to life and readers quickly find themselves drawn into the character's lives, wondering what will happen next. Also interesting is finding out what happened to Catherine and Phyrahawque, Adam and Noah, major characters in Marilyn Clay's first Jamestown novel, DECEPTIONS. Both the premise and plot of A PETTICOAT AND LAMBSKIN GLOVES is unusual and intriguing. You won't want to put this historical suspense novel down! A great read and highly recommended."
