The Lawyer and the Laundress by Christine Hill Suntz

The Lawyer and the Laundress is Christine Hill Suntz debut novel, and it is a beautiful work of art. It can be hard to come across a Canadian historical fiction, and being a Canadian myself it is always a pleasure when I get to read a historical novel based in my home.

The character development is great. I loved seeing the layers behind Sara-widow who has lost so much. Seeing her work through her past to set her present right. She is not just a laundress. James, a widower has a lot to overcome. Trying to be the best single dad possible while unearthing political secrets.

The storyline and setting were a delight. I always appreciate a good story about my home country- Canada. My aunt lives in Holland Landing so when it was mentioned about the rebels living there it gave me a chuckle. I loved the storyline. I was rooting for Sara and James the whole time. Evie was such a sweetheart. She reminds me of my own daughter, trying so hard to pay attention, but sometimes she just needs a little adventure.

The marriage of convenience, slow-burn romance is a sweet low-spice, kisses-only story.

Christine Hill Suntz did a great job intertwining faith throughout the book.
