This was my first book by Kathryn Hughes and hopefully not my last. I don't always gel with story's revolving around two different time lines but this one did work well for me. It was an intrigued plot lime and a bit of an emotional read. Not a new favorite of mine but definitely liked the writing style

I enjoyed reading the authors previous book, The Letter, and couldn't wait to read this one.
The story is one which drew me in and made me want to keep reading so much that I didn't put it down until I had finished. It starts in the present day but then goes back in time to allow the reader to discover the back story in great detail.
The characters were all very well done, I sympathised with so many of them over the choices they had to make and the circumstances they found themselves having to deal with. The story shows that something which you may think is a small detail can become a huge problem as time goes on.
I really enjoyed this story and look forward to whatever the author decides to give us next.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for providing a copy in exchange for an honest review.
