I don't read romance novels but this genre is the best seller to women. (Murder - fiction and nonfiction - sells best overall.) The writer of a historical novel does their best to describe their characters authentically but then the cover is turned over to an artist who may not read the book or understand the fashion, hairstyles, and cosmetics of the era. BERNADETTE BANNER does and with a much better understanding of what the writer wrote, attempts to redesign the covers. Watched her videos and was just fascinated.
Because I have a rule that I do not embed videos that have commercials, I'll provide the links instead.
