Trade ReviewJust loved it! What a
wonderful and inspiring story. * Jill Mansell *
What a stunning book . . . beautifully written, impeccably researched, and utterly addictive. * Louise Beech, author of How to Be Brave *
Della Dobbs is a wonderfully feisty and ambitious heroine and I cheered her all the way. Although the novel is packed with adventure and peril, at its heart there is a quiet tenderness which I found very poignant. * Juliet West, author of Before The Fall *
The writing flies off the page and into the heart. * Louise Walters, author of Mrs Sinclair's Suitcase *
I loved this book, riveting and compelling, original and wonderfully written * Rowan Coleman *
