Critics Review

A must-read

An intriguing and atmospheric novel, cleverly interweaving different times and crimes through an elderly and most unreliable narrator…absorbing

Vivid and brilliantly gripping. I was captivated from the first page.

Marianne Kavanagh’s novel succeeds on so many levels. It’s a thriller, a love story, a vivid portrait of wartime England, a cautionary tale, but above all, it’s a fascinating study of suppressed guilt and the human need for absolution through confession. I absolutely loved it.

A genuinely mysterious thriller, with an intense sense of time and place - a historical novel of a very different sort

Charming, gleeful, a delight…brings Britain at war to vivid life

A moving Hardy-esque story of love, lies and loss thrown into sharp relief by its vivid WW2 setting. Indomitable Mary Holmes is a memorable character.
