“What a dignified object was a book, almost noble in its purpose.”

Historical fiction at its best. Beautiful Masterpiece. Mysterious. Magical. Atmospheric. Spellbinding.

I own all of Kate Morton's books, but sadly this is only the second book I have read and in absolutely no way did this story disappoint. I could have devoured in one sitting, but, life. When I wasn't reading it kept calling to me throughout the day and to me that's a sign of a good book.

I think my new goodreads friend Lee said it best, you just wanted to hug this book when it was over.
