I'm a lttle tired this morning as I type. The reason is this book, as I stayed up till 2am to finish it (thank Goodness for being off work!)
I knew within the first few pages that this was going to be an absolute reading gem. Don't you love it when that happens? The anticipation and excitement, wondering what journey you will take through the pages.
This book CONSUMED me. For the 3 days I was reading it, I was obsessed. Telling people to buy it, talking to my fiance about how good it was, and thinking about the characters and plot continuously. I have fairly bad insomnia at the moment, but the last few days I haven't minded as it gives me the opportunity to continue reading. Even before I had finished I had already ordered it for a present.
The three characters of Nell, Eliza and Caroline were SO distinctive, it was effortless to follow the dual timelines and the different personalities and stories. This is how a dual timeline novel should be executed- the two stories following side by side until they start to come together.
I have adored this book and will continue to recommend it. My favourite historical fiction novel up to now had been The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah (I ugly cried with that book), and while that had an emotional impact on me for months afterwards, this book is now my favourite thriller/historical fiction combo. I have never really thought or a historical book being classed as a thriller, but that's exactly what this book was. Completely, totally THRILLING.
A perfect mixture of historical fiction and thriller executed flawlessly.
Just incredible.
