Jane Dunn‘I read everything this author writes as I love, love LOVE her books! This is one of the best I’ve read. Some fascinating history (from a neglected period), fabulous characters on a journey of discovery, a hint of spookiness and a whole carriageful of rollicking romance.’ Reader Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Triumph as always from Nicola Cornick. no one creates such relatable characters and intricate plots. I couldn't put this down and highly recommend it.’ Reader Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️‘Nicola Cornick's novels are always a real treat. Her history is always accurate, but her research doesn’t show - instead, you feel as if you're right there in the time period she's writing about… Loved the characters, the two timelines were woven together well, there was plenty of historical colour and lots of dramatic tension. Definite five stars from me.’ Reader Review ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
