Belles of Waterloo
«
'Vivid and engaging...deftly captures the hopes, loves, laughter and pathos of the time.' Kristine Hughes, author of 'Waterloo Witnesses'
'A beautifully crafted and captivating page turner, I didn't want it to end!' Sarah Murden, author of 'All Things Georgian'
'Goes beyond the excitement and glamour of those exciting times to the real emotions of the people who lived through them.' Rory Muir, author of 'Waterloo and the Fortunes of Peace 1814 - 1852'
“This book is so beautifully written and the vivid descriptions of the balls really brings them to life. I really liked that this was based on real people and also included extracts from their letters. It is a fascinating look back in time and I love that it is written from a female perspective.” A Cottage Full of Books
“This is a brilliant book didn’t know what to expect at first I loved it full of history and emotion. Every chapter start of with a letter that makes this book even more special.” Rhianydd Morris
“The characters in The Belles of Waterloo are based on real people, which provides additional depth to the story. But there is definitely more romance and fun than perhaps there really was. However, this makes the book a delightful read. It has no hidden depths, and is slightly frivolous at time – but at its core is a lovely story of society, romance and heroism.” Paradise is a Library
“A wonderfully engaging page-turner that perfectly captures the grandeur, decadence and excitement of the era in this vividly descriptive regency romance inspired by true events.” Natasha Leighton
“Alice’s book is irresistible, sumptuously, and seamlessly blending her incredible factual knowledge with delectable fictional inspiration.” The Fallen Librarian
“Alice Church has expertly crafted a compelling, historical romance novel that will delight anyone who loves history and romance together.” Beyond The Books
“This really is a fascinating book, clearly well-researched and, as I said, refreshing to read about the thoughts, feelings and actions of this group of women whose previous experiences would have been so far removed from the realities of battle and horrific injuries.” It Takes A Woman
“I loved Maria, Georgy and Harriet. If I had lived in this era I would have liked to have been friends with them. Such courageous and outstanding women.” Mickys Bookworm
“This was an absolutely phenomenal educational piece of work which brings out the remarkable characters from such an era.” Twilight Reader
