Tears Into Gold by Cori Cooper – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Tears into Gold by Cori Cooper
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a wonderfully written novel with an intriguing storyline which kept me captivated throughout. The main character Branka is an orphaned scullery maid, who works for Lord and Lady Fitzgerald at their manor House. Branka is in love with a boy who she knows can never love her back, and so feeling like her life is hopeless she wishes for freedom. However, in Branka’s world GOLD is freedom and she soon discovers why people should be careful what they wish for. This story has a whimsical fairytale feel to it and seemed to be a mix of different fairytales. Branka is a likeable and relatable young girl, and I felt immersed in her world due to the detailed descriptive narrative which brought the fantasy world to life. An enjoyable and engaging read, and one which I recommend all ages reading.
