Miss Jacobson Journey Carola Dunn 9780802712158 Books

Great author, always a well thought out clean read. My only complaint is the endings drop off immediately the moment the couple is together finally.
Otherwise a great story. This actually is a prequel to Lord Roworths reward.

Miss Jacobson Journey Carola Dunn 9780802712158 Books Reviews

Miriam Jacobson rejects the match made for her by her parents with Isaac Cohen and humiliates Isaac by her rejection. For nine years she travels across Europe with her uncle who is a medical man and her faithful servant, Hannah.

When her uncle dies Miriam finds herself stuck in Europe because of the war with Napoleon until she is offered safe passage home if she will travel first to Spain with a consignment of gold for Wellington's army. Miriam agrees and finds herself on a coach journey across France with Felix Lord Roworth and the same Isaac Cohen she rejected nine years ago.

I found this book did not hold my attention quite as much as other Regency romances by this author have done. It is just as well written and the plot is interesting but there was something lacking and the book did not quite gel for me.

I sympathised with Miriam's impatience with the restrictions placed on women at the time and I liked the way the four travellers gradually settled into a workable relationship. Maybe I was in the wrong mood for this particular book and it will not stop me reading others by this author.
Miss Jacobson’s Journey is a great novel that transcends the limitations of romances. It’s more a historical adventure with lots of character development than an empty will-they-do-it-doggy-style mess.

Right before a Jewish matchmaking ceremony, Miriam has doubts about getting married and becoming a wife. She feels pressured to accept the suitor that her mother likes, but all she really wants to do is to travel with her favorite uncle. At the crucial moment, Miriam rejects the quiet young scholar presented to her before he can utter a word.

Years later, her uncle’s death leaves Miriam stranded in France due to the war. She approaches the mysterious Jacob Rothchild for help and he makes her a deal he’ll give her Swiss papers and help smuggle her back to England. In exchange for this, though, first she must travel with two agents and a secret cargo of gold destined for Wellington’s army near Spain.

Despite the recklessness of the plan and stern warnings from her maid, Miriam accepts before she meets her traveling companions Felix Roworth, a snobbish aristocrat, and Isaac Cohen, the same man she cruelly rejected years ago.

Roworth and Cohen hate each other on sight and it takes all of Miriam’s diplomacy and quick thinking to keep the mission on track. Miriam’s the glue that keeps these reluctant companions together, and soon Roworth and Cohen find a real reason to hate each other.

If you’re looking for a ramshackle travelogue through Napoleonic war zones, Miss Jacobson’s Journey is a fascinating, well-researched novel. It’s exciting, with most of the danger and emotions coming across as natural. It delves into the plight of marginalized Jewish communities, and the casual discrimination they faced long before World War II.

Apart from these elements, the novel’s got an incredible, well-developed love triangle. At one point I didn’t know which guy I was rooting for Lord Felix, who slowly sheds his anti-Semitism, or Isaac, who’s out to prove he’s become a better man since he was first rejected.

A perceptive and unusual story dealing with the preconceptions and attractions between a young woman and two very different young men set against the war torn land of Napoleonic France.
Amusing and well written. An unusual setting.
I don't know why this didn't appeal to me as much as the other two did Miriam annoyed me a little, Isaac was a straight honest character and Lord Roworth annoying.
It's still an ejoyable story but I find the chemistry lacking
I really enjoyed this novel and I am so happy to have it on . This is one of Carola Dunn's best books and the following two novels in the trilogy are also good. It's a sweet romantic adventure in Napoleonic Europe and Isaac won my heart as he proved himself worthy of Miriam.
As always, the author has entertained and even educated me. I have enjoyed most of her regency romances, the characters are engaging and the stories interesting. The romances are... delicately represented. If you're not a fan of lurid sex scenes, Carola Dunn is the author for you.
Great author, always a well thought out clean read. My only complaint is the endings drop off immediately the moment the couple is together finally.
Otherwise a great story. This actually is a prequel to Lord Roworths reward.
