Teen Book Review: Unclaimed Heart by Kim Wilkins

Unclaimed Heart by Kim Wilkins

Reviewed by Caitlyn

Constance is a young woman in 1799. She sneaks about her father’s ship to join a search for her mother who disappeared when she was a baby. Her father discovers her and decides to let her stay. When Alexandre, a young French man comes into the picture, Constance falls in love. Alexandre worked on a pearl diving ship for about 8 years and ran off when Constance’s father claimed his old ship from a cruel man by the name of DeLocke. When they arrive in Ceylon, Constance and her father stay at a friend’s. Alexandre remains on his “home”, the pearl diving ship. Constance’s father wants to sell the ship. Constance also sort-of befriends a girl name Orlanda. Orlanda ends up falling in love with Alexandre, too, while Constance’s father continues his own search for his lost wife. Constance gets help from Alexandre to find her mother. This book is full of young love, drama and wonder.

I recommend this book to all of the young women and girls around the world. It was a very good book. I give it four stars out of five. It is one of those books where you have to read in one day to a few days. The library should get it.
