Once again, another beautifully written novel by Bridget Collins. Very different to The Binding but still a strong book in its own right. Collins has a true talent for constructing words & stories & capturing the imagination of the reader. Admittedly it took me a bit to really get into what was going on & I still don’t understand exactly what the grand jeu actually is... (is it a dance, a symphony...a love song?) but I still thoroughly enjoyed this story of love, mystery, risk & tragedy.
