This is my second book that I have read by the author Nicola Pryce. The first book I read was A Cornish Betrothal.

The Cornish Captive would make a lovely Christmas present for a mother or nan that adores reading stories set in the 1800.

The Cornish Captive held a lump in my throat for poor Madeleine Pelligrew.

The story takes place in Cornwall during the year 1800.

Madeleine Pelligrew a former mistress of Pendenning Hall, heartbreakingly spent the last fourteen years being locked away from one mad house to another. To make matters worse each time Madeleine’ has been moved from the mad houses her name was secretly changed and her records were wiped clean so no one could find her.

Nicola Pryce has written a lovely engaging story as we follow what happens to Madeleine who is free at last , but will she learn to love again?

I had feelings for Madeleine being wrongfully locked up for so long I there for really wanted Madeleine to find love and comfort in her life, when she makes friends with a French prisoner on parole.

The book cover really gives you the feeling of the time frame the story is set in.

What I loved about reading The Cornish Captive is that I was impressed with all the cast characters good or bad, and found the family tree at the beginning came in really useful even though I knew who was who.
