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 ??????????
