I fell in love with the style of writing since the first page and couldn't put it down.
A gripping story, a mix of different genres (historical fiction, mystery) and a great portrait of Frances Bacon as human being living in a complex age.
The book is well researched and the historical background is vivid.
It's the first book I read by this author and won't surely be the last.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
