Delightful historical novel which hooked me right away, and then all my chores were forgotten and I spend the entire day reading it. Intriguing characters and fast paced storyline and some twists you never saw coming make it the perfect read for a frigid Moncton winter day. I had no idea until I started to write this review that is was part of a trilogy. So I stopped writing this and requested the other two from the library. It's funny while reading it I was slightly disappointed as I wanted more of Emma etc and now I know why.
