Customer Reviews

Another smash hit from Susanna Kearsley

If you already love Susanna, you will not be disappointed. If this is your first time, just know every one of her books is an island to its own and yet part of her unbelievable body of work. This story is no less amazing as the rest. Worth every minute you will spend reading it.

The best book I've read in a long time.

This is just the kind of romance I like. The heroines are fully fleshed characters who spends more half of the book NOT talking to or about the love interests. It is also a deep and meaningful book about parent/child relationships and how a good love brings out the best in a person. The heros are a gentleman in rough clothing, the settings are amazing, the history is interesting, and the plot twists are unpredictable and the ending is beautiful. I recommend this book to everyone.
