Shifting Islands by Greene M. Wills (Book Review #929)

Shifting Islands is a historical fiction about Nikos. The story is set in the 17^th century and begins with the Baroness giving birth to twins, boys, and girls. Unfortunately, only one survives, and since Baron was hoping for a boy, an heir to this throne, he forces everyone to secrecy and declares Nikos as his son. Being a girl but portrayed as a boy, Niko takes advantage of a good education, and other freedom men receive; however, deep inside, she is a girl and possesses a female insight and perspective.

This is definitely a unique story. To be a girl but to have to act like a boy was delightful to read. The dynamic of the sexuality and the setting it was created made this such a wonderful and fascinating endeavor. How could one even behave in such a world yet think and survive was beyond my comprehension; however, their story genuinely took me on a fabulous journey.

The literature was written well enough to follow through. It was not easy to write this narrative. I admired the author for making sure everything was historically correct and was written with accurate dialogue.

I recommend this book to anyone who likes to read historical fiction and enjoys reading novel storylines.
