Into the Whirlwind ~ Elizabeth Camden

Into the Whirlwind by Elizabeth Camden was good book.  Following the life of Mollie Knox was very interesting.  The attention to details in the book are really caught my attention though.

Elizabeth Camden did a great job with the details.  Into the Whirlwind is set in Chicago during the great Chicago fire.  While reading this story it feels as if you are there and can truly imagine what it was like.  I have not had the opportunity to read very many books set during the great Chicago fire.  I found this aspect of the story to be unique and captivating.

The other unique and captivating part of Into the Whirlwind is Mollie's profession.  Mollie is a watchmaker.  Learning all of the little details about watchmaking while reading this story made it very interesting.  This is not a common profession given to women in historical fiction.  I loved that Camden chose it.  Elizabeth Camden is a wonderful and creative author.  I have had the pleasure of reading all of her books and definitely consider this to be another wonderful book done by her.  On Camden's front page website it says, "Why are love stories and disasters natural partners?".  This is a good description of Into the Whirlwind.
