It is thanks to the enthusiasm of many authors today that use the internet to publicise their work that I have started reading more widely than ever. I have always had eclectic tastes but until recently historical fiction was a genre that I had not been reading much. If you look back over my recent book reviews you will notice that many of them are books I have read thanks to the generosity of the authors.
I very A relaxing read that transported me back to an era that I am glad I was not born in! I very much appreciate that they are willing to let me read and review their work.
It is also thanks to some of these authors that I am now reading and enjoying more historical fiction. Jean Fullerton is one of the authors whose enthusiasm for her writing goes far beyond the book and the story. Since reading Perhaps Tomorrow while researching autobiographical information about her, I discovered that on her website, she has copious information and photos of locations used in the novel. Storyline The female heroine is young widow Mattie Maguire who is a tough young lady.
Struggling for three years since her husband died, to keep the family coal business afloat she has a hard time. Not only is she a woman in a mans world, but she has a young son and a disturbed mother in law to look after as well. At first she has no idea that her livelihood is under threat by the proposals of corrupt local business man, Amos Stebbins.
Mattie believes that she will never fall in love again, until into her life comes Nathaniel Tate. Nathaniel has escaped wrongful imprisonment and returned to London to make the man who has ruined his life pay for his past crimes. Of course the man is Amos Stebbins and tracking him down to the coal yard is how he and Mattie meet when she offers him work.
It is thanks to Nathaniel that Mattie manages to cope with the dastardly deeds that Amos tries to bring her business to collapse. The pair grow ever closer only to be torn apart again when the police catch up with him. It is a challenge for him to prove his innocence, expose Amos and get back with the woman he loves.

Her wonderful descriptive text really helps make you feel that you are in the East End of London amongst the dirt and coal dust. Mattie was a wonderful heroine. She was a great mix of compassion with those around her and struggling with what life had to throw at her but also strong enough to stand up for what she believed in and who she loved. I loved the chemistry positive and negative! There are lots of moments of where will the story take you next? Is it possible for there to be a happy ending or is it too late! Thank you so much Jean for letting me have a copy of Perhaps Tomorrow.
I wish you lots of success with it. Widowed only 3 years ago she is the owner of her late husband's coal yard, mother to her 3 year old son Brian and carer for her frail mother-in-law. Running a business is not easy for a woman but that is the least of Mattie's worries.
After taking a couple of chapters to get immersed in the story, I found myself turning the pages quicker and quicker as I reached the climax and then the ending. Mattie Maguire is a twenty-six-year-old widow with an infant son. With a gripping story, fantastic characters and in depth periodic detail, Jean Fullerton has created a story to wholeheartedly lose yourself in. It is also thanks to some of these authors that I am now reading and enjoying more historical fiction. I have always had eclectic tastes but until recently historical fiction was a genre that I had not been reading much. Her sense of time and place is impeccable and her hero is gorgeous.
