Critic reviews

“Klassen expertly infuses her … inspirational tale with a gothic atmosphere, resulting in a sweetly intriguing romance worthy of Victoria Holt.” ( Booklist)

A very good novel, beautifully written and beautifully narrated. Remined me a little of Jane Eyre, one of my favourite novels of all time. Very cleverly written and many twists and turns near the end. I love this author, and this is the fourth of her novels I have listened to. But this one and the Painter's Daughter had the same effect on me, I couldn't stop listening. Both books have really good stories, and I would highly recommend them both. Lovely and calming to listen to, and a lovely bit of escapism. Just beautiful! 🤍 📚

I very much enjoyed this story with its multilayered storylines and socially diverse cast of characters. Well written with a definite feel of the classics. Easy to understand and not too flowery. I especially enjoyed how every single strand to this story was neatly woven back into the whole and expertly tied off.

A very satisfying conclusion
