Set in Edinburgh and in the Scottish countryside, on an estate situated on a section of “disputed�� border between Scotland and England, this big, compelling novel about a young woman and damning family secrets kept me reading late into the night.

It was so easy to get lost in this story of fortune-hunting, marriage, heir-getting, women labelled mad and incarcerated on the flimsiest of excuses, foggy moors and bogs, myths and legends, and identity��.for fear of spoiling this story about the magnetic main character Charlotte, I won’t give anything else away.

The massive book grabbed from its opening, and pulled me along, desperate to know what would happen next to the irresistible characters, none more so than the irrepressible, ebullient and ever curious Charlotte, whom I fell in love with immediately.

This was such an entertaining book!

Thank you to Netgalley and to Penguin Random House Canada for this ARC in exchange for my review.
