1919 Misfortune's End 10 reviews Paula Phelan
ZAPmedia, 2007
Great Book
+ Historical Fiction at it's Best!
This novel is a engaging and entertaining look at key historical events in 1919. Phelan's interest in 'under-reported' history including bizarre but true occurrences such as "the molasses incident" provide the reader an interesting and original read. Highly recommended!!!
