The Locksmith's Daughter : A Novel
Booklist
From Booklist, Copyright (c) American Library Association. Used with permission.
In Elizabethan England, women are owned by the men around them, rarely educated beyond household needs, and typically thought of as useful only for political or social gain. Mallory Bright is the only daughter of a master locksmith and has had an unusual upbringing she can read and speak several languages and has become an amazing lockpick. When Mallory crosses paths with Queen Elizabeth's spymaster, Francis Walsingham, her world becomes more chaotic as the plot twists and turns. Well-known Australian author Brooks' first American release is told from Mallory's point of view, giving the reader full, detailed access to her world of secrets, both personal and political. Descriptions of clothing, everyday greetings, and food abound, creating an immersive reading experience. In staying true to the realities of the period, Brooks does not shy away from descriptions of the abuse and torture that were present. A well-researched piece of Elizabethan historical fiction that opens an intricate world of both locksmithing and a determined heroine.--Gerber, Rebecca Copyright 2010 Booklist
