A beautifully penned tale, with characters it is impossible not to care about. Rich in detail and vividly told it's easy to get swept up by the tale, drawing you into Mabel's life and the time she lived in.

It missed out on 5⭐ because I felt it was a little too predictable and the discussion regarding class felt a bit too contrived. This wasn't my favourite Pearse novel but it was an easy, enjoyable read and I would recommend her as an author to anyone looking for a strong female lead book.

Thank-you EDPR for sending me a copy in exchange for an open & honest review.
