What a Gem!
This has to be my favourite book of 2024 so far.
A wonderful and captivating tale of three women; Kitty, Miriam and Edie and their lives spanning three timelines from World War I to the present. I fell in love with all three of these charming characters. I also loved the fact that great historical heroine Sylvia Pankhurst was part of this book.
This book is beautifully written and carries you from 1915 London to 1918 Germany to present day Cornwall seamlessly. A brilliantly interwoven narrative of love and loss, hidden secrets and most of all hope.
The author Iris Costello, takes you on an amazing journey of mystery from tarot readings in an East End bakery to a prisoner of war camp in Germany to a cottage in Cornwall.
I highly recommend this book and will definitely be purchasing a copy.
Thank you to NetGalley, the publishers and the author for this ARC.
