Celestial Persuasion by Mirta Ines Trupp
Book Blurb:
Abigail Isaacs fears ever again falling under the power of love and dedicates her life to studying the heavens. However, upon her father's demise she finds herself in reduced circumstances and must write to her brother, who has long been away at sea. When instead Captain Wentworth of the HMS Laconia sends a tragic reply, Abigail is asked to set aside her own ambitions and fulfill her brother's dreams in the Viceroyalty of Río de la Plata.
In his relentless pursuit for justice, Lieutenant Raphael Gabay lends his sword to the Spanish American cause. But as he prepares to set sail with the others, he is entrusted with the
care of a young woman. She is quite unlike anyone he has ever known, and Raphael begins to wonder whether the brilliant astronomer will see beyond his frivolous façade and recognize his true nature. Their destinies have been plotted beyond the celestial veil; their charts foretell of
adventure. Can these two troubled souls be persuaded to heed the stars and find love-and their purpose-in this fledgling nation?
My Review:
If you love Jane Austen’s Persuasion, you will love this book. It is the prequel to Persuasion. This book is very well written. It has that perfect Jane Austen feel. Abigail Issacs is fascinated and well educated about the stars. Mr Gabay is a distant cousin who is to look after her well being. Loved these characters and loved how the author incorporated Captain Wentworth. Really enjoyed the story. It was refreshing to read a story about Jewish people that is not about the holocaust, but with Jews in England and Spain. There is Jewish customs and traditions in throughout the book as well which was interesting to learn about. Only negative was 2 mild swear words. Overall clean read and I enjoyed it!
