My Thoughts:
Susanna Kearsley has been in my top ten favorite authors for many years. I love time travel that takes place in England or Ireland. This story takes place on the Cornish coast of England. The author wove the past and present skillfully around a fictitious manor house called Trelowarth. This book is so good that I found myself so immersed in the story that I had a hard time putting it down. The main characters Eva and Daniel felt so real and the supporting characters were fun and quirky. If you enjoy reading Barbara Erskine, Lillian Stewart Carl, Diana Gabaldon or you have read previous Susanna Kearsley novels, you will surely want to read this one. I give it five stars!!!
I received this book for review from Sourcebooks and was not monetarily compensated for my review.
