The time, place, and premise of Daughters of Nantucket by Julie Gerstenblatt are fascinating. The story, however, has a very modern feel. The neat package of the ending and the dramatic change in outlook of certain characters gives the story a less real rendering. Nevertheless, the book is successful in what I love about historical fiction - introducing me to a history that I may not otherwise have learned.
