Not by Sight

by Kate Breslin

Overview

Gripping Sophomore Novel from a Rising Historical Romance Talent

With Britain caught up in WWI, Jack Benningham, heir to the Earl of Stonebrooke, has declared himself a conscientious objector. Instead, he secretly works for the Crown by tracking down German spies on British soil, his wild reputation and society status serving as a foolproof cover.

Blinded by patriotism and concern for her brother on the front lines, wealthy suffragette Grace Mabry will do whatever it takes to assist her country's cause. When she sneaks into a posh London masquerade ball to hand out white feathers of cowardice, she never imagines the chain of events she'll set off when she hands a feather to Jack.

And neither of them could anticipate the extent of the danger and betrayal that follows them--or the faith they'll need to maintain hope.

Editorial Reviews

09/01/2015
Breslin's second novel (after the controversial For Such a Time) is a timeless love story set during World War I. Grace Mabry attends a masquerade ball dressed as Pandora to give white feathers symbolizing cowardice to those who object to fighting in the war. When she hands one to Jack Benningham there is an immediate romantic spark. Jack, working undercover as a conscientious objector to catch German spies, is pleased that his cover is working, but from that point forward, Grace will haunt, taunt, and follow him, bringing all the bad luck of her namesake. Until both learn to trust God's path for them, they will never find love together. It's a bumpy ride ahead. VERDICT Breslin has done her research, unfolding her story with impeccable attention to historical detail. Adding to the novel's pleasures are a lush rural English setting, absorbing protagonists, and a moving, suspenseful plot. The emotional and spiritual growth of Grace and Jack as they struggle with threat and betrayal makes for an engrossing read for fans of historical romantic suspense.
