This book is classed as historic romance, but it deserves so much more than that.
The romance in this book covers probably 10% of the book. The story was beautiful and sad and just great.
This book covers family drama spaning generations.
I cried and it takes a lot for me to cry at a book. I cried several times.
I have enjoyed every Lucinda Riley I have so far read. Its a easy read but covers some tough subject matter at times, definitely worth the read.
