Whilst on holiday on a sunny sandy beach in Africa, I picked up this book. The cover promised me a perfect holiday read, and it did not disappoint.
The twist of past and present stories reminded a lot of Barbara Erskine's work,; adding a historical mix into the tale.
I was immediately caught up in the two strands of the tale, and Ley conceals the clever twist until the very last few pages.
The cover and blurb on the back page peg the book as a romantic read; however the historical side of the tale is just enough to dilute the romantic theme and prevent the tale becoming just another trashy beach romance.
A beautifully written tale with a clever twist that will have you racing through the pages to the finish.
