I received this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for a fair and honest review.
This is a mystery/thriller set in Ireland, featuring a dual timeline and supernatural elements with a gothic feel. One timeline is in set in the 1840s (therefore dealing with the Great Famine, An Gorta Mór) and the other in more recent times, 2007.
Grace moves to Hollowpark after a long absence in order to be Skye FitzMahon's nanny. Hollowpark is home to many secrets, ghosts and an intricate maze.
This book instantly gripped and captivated me, it's full of mystery and unexpected twists.

This is a memoir of Swedish novelist, Karolina Ramqvist's time writing and researching the story of Marguerite de la Rocque, a French noble woman abandoned on a small island north of Nova Scotia in 1542. Translated from the original Swedish by Saskia Vogel.
The writing feels disjointed and aimless; Ramqvist frequently floats from one thought to the next, without developing on them. The glimpses into the possible life (there's not a lot of records about her life available) of Marguerite and interesting and it seems like an extraordinary story, unfortunately, we don't get to see much of it in this book.
