Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A gem of a novel.” Toronto Star
“A beautifully written story of two women’s courage.” New York Journal of Books
“Rebecca restores more to Olivia than merely a house while reclaiming her own sense of worth and purpose in the process.” Library Journal (starred review)
“An irresistible epic history of one family in Cornwall, England…Johnson’s powers of description evoke the setting’s living history and brings it to brilliant life. This sweeping saga is a must-read.” Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Atmospheric setting, fast-paced dual narrative, and vividly eccentric characters…it’s also an unflinching look at racism and sexism in England during the Second World War, a bittersweet love story and a tribute to unexpected courage under fire…[A] lushly rendered world.” Shelf Awareness
“Full of secrets and passion, with two strong heroines, this book satisfies every need. It’s utterly romantic and page-turningly exciting.” Katie Fforde, #1 London Sunday Times bestselling author
