My review of Twain's End is now up on Fresh Fiction!"Reading this book opened my eyes to the man behind the pseudonym Mark Twain"Read the whole review here!

I wasn't sure of what I was expecting when first deciding to read and review this novel. Maybe a memoir of sorts or a tale so much more ordinary.
