This is a great Christian historical book. I absolutely loved this book. The setting was perfect and I could not stop reading. I would highly recommend this book.

The Elusive Truth of Lily Temple by Joanna Davidson Politano is a wonderful historical fiction that has mystery, suspense, and a cast of well-drawn characters that make for a delightful read.

I enjoyed traveling to England at the beginning if the 20th century…the Edwardian era is always a fascinating polar change to the Victorian era…and Ms. Politano as always did an excellent job painting that canvas for the reader. Her talents at painting vivid portraits of characters, lands, and cultures is always impressive.

Peter and Lily are great main characters that represent a lot of life’s paradoxes. The people we present to the world, and the real person within…what is truth and what is a falsity…what we want and what we need.

I enjoyed the pacing, the plot, and I enjoyed how it all finally came to an end.

4/5 stars
