The Roaring Days of Zora Lily: A Novel
by Noelle Salazar
A riveting read (10/10/2023)
This is one of the best historical fiction books I've read in a long time. I couldn't wait to find out what happened next in Zora's story, and I often stayed up late to keep reading because I just had to know how things turned out in the next chapter.

The characters really come to life on the pages, and the author includes lots of period details and expressions to anchor the story in the 1920s. Zora and many of the other characters are warm and charming, and I liked them from the moment they first appeared on the page.

It was thrilling to travel with Zora as she went after her dreams and worked to overcome obstacles. I loved that she never gave up, and it was heartwarming to see how much she loved her family and the sacrifices she made to give her family a better life.

I was very satisfied with the ending of the book, and I felt that the story drew to a close in a rewarding way. I would recommend this novel to anyone who loves historical fiction, and it's the perfect read if you're looking for an uplifting tale or if you need some encouragement while you're going after your dreams.
