I enjoyed this book
immensely . . . it's the sign of
a good story that
I was drawn into both narratives . . . deals with
complex emotional subjects . . . I enjoyed how the stories connected through history and family, and it enabled me to reflect on how societal attitudes changed during the period of one woman's life. * Juno magazine *

breathtaking murder-mystery and much more * the Jewish Chronicle *
What a
wonderful read! Keren David's first historical novel is
written with feeling,
great characterisation and

This
fast-moving story will appeal to teenagers and adults alike . . . A
warm, thrilling book about how we all have dark secrets, and the special bond between youth and age. I
enjoyed reading it. * The Lady *
Stranger deftly moves between both timelines, offering up
two distinct voices and perspectives while at the same time presenting parallels in these young women's lives and choices . . . The truth that unfolds across the two narratives is
complicated and compelling, adding a
deeply satisfying mystery element to this exploration of family and love * Irish Times *
Fear and suspicion of the apparently alien feature
powerfully . . .
Skillful, original and gripping, the plot-lines are woven together into
a remarkable detective discovery * the Spectator *
Keren David's writing . . . has heart without being sentimental, is skilfully plotted, and its emotional and moral landscapes are nuanced. * the Guardian on Salvage *
David gets better with every book * Daily Mail on Salvage *
