“A deftly crafted historical novel, Westland showcases author Michelle Muriel’s genuine flare for originality framed with historical detail and the kind of entertaining narrative storytelling style that holds the reader’s attention from beginning to end.” — Midwest Book Review

 

“As with Essie’s Roses, I found myself totally immersed in the world of Westland. The complex relationships between the characters drew me in and never let go.”

“This book, Westland, was everything I’d hoped it would be. I finished this novel with a lump in my throat, tears in my eyes, my heart filled with love and hope.”

“Dear readers, Westland is truly a dream come true.”
