As always I loved Sarra’s book. A perfect mix of historical and contemporary fiction which I loved completely. I can’t wait for more from her

I still love Sarra's writing, but I'm not sure the format for this novel worked for me. I was more interested in reading about Rose's life, and didn't care much about the mystery of Jane and her encounter with Leo. It's almost as though these are two very separate stories and don't fit together properly.

I love Sarra Manning. I love her books for teenagers, I've loved her other adult books. I clicked to request this book because I love HER so much. However that love doesn't seem to cover reading historical fiction which is a genre I just can't come to grips with no matter who is writing the story. I'm so sad though. But I tried.
