Victoria Spicer-Stuart's Reviews > Puritan Girl, Mohawk Girl

*Thanks to NetGalley and Amulet Books for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.* 'Puritan Girl, Mohawk Girl' is a fictionalised account of the true story of a young Eunice Williams, who along with her family, was taken captive from her town of Deerfield by members of the Mohawk tribe and marched to Canada. Eunice is soon split from her family and brought up by a Mohawk family. Her father, Reverend Williams and some of her siblings are eventually released and return home, never to give up their quest to be reunited with their sister and daughter. I found the novel relatively interesting and certainly learnt a fair bit about Mohawk customs at the time. I did not particularly feel emotionally connected to the characters, however and felt that more could have been done to flesh out the individuals in the story. Whilst the novel is based on a true story, at times the events did not seem particularly believable. Despite this, the book did keep my attention until the end and I enjoyed reading the author's notes at the end of the story.
