It's well written but I found it a bit too slow and the plot didn't keep my attention.
Not my cup of tea.

I was expecting something creepier and more on the horror side but this more of a domestic thriller with some folk horror aspects.
It's well written, I appreciated the storytelling but the story seemed rushed and the unreliable narrator (as the other characters) grated on my nerves.
Not my cup of tea.

It was a very creepy story that kept me on the edge till the end, better not reading it before sleep or be ready for some interesting nightmare.
The author delivers a gripping, twisty and well written story using a classing trope, the haunted house, and renewing it.
Great storytelling, character and world development.
Highly recommended.

As much as I enjoyed the story and the subplots I didn't like this book.
The world building is excellent, the plot flows but the sexism was a bit too much
Not my cup of tea.

A good mix of historical fiction and women's fiction, I appreciated the style of writing and the character development.
The historical part was well developed but I preferred the contemporary and Imogen's story.
Good character and plot development.

Even if it's well researched and informative I found it quite dreary and struggled.
I learned something more about the Mountbattens but it was a long list of facts.
Not my cup of tea.

A fascinating, sad, enthralling and well written story. A story of people and a sort of social history of England.
It's the first book I read by this author and thoroughly enjoyed it.
i loved the storytelling, how the story flows and you are involved in sadness, mysteries and different social environments.
Fascinating and well written.
Highly recommended.

This is a depressing and highly entertaining story about the world we are living in, PRs and political spin doctors.
Depressing because it's a bleak depiction of reality, highly entertaining because it's a darkly humorous satire and you cannot help laughing at the farcical characters.
The author is an excellent storyteller and this story kept me reading.

This is a complex, slow burning, enthralling and entertaining story that kept me turning pages as fast as I could.
It wasn't love at first page but after a few pages I was hooked.
The plot is complex, it kept me guessing and I was surprised by the ending. Sometimes there's a bit too much coincidence but it didn't stop me from loving it.
Great character development, vivid historical background and some lovely descriptions of San Sebastian.
