I really enjoyed this book. I am a fan of good historical fiction, and I think this may be my favourite novel of this genre so far.
The book follows Amelia, who has recently fallen in love with Dr Luke Bohenna. She still grieves the loss of her fiancé Edmund, who went missing in the navy (assumed to be dead). But Edmund is alive and returns to her life as a very changed man.
I absolutely loved the relationship between Amelia and Luke. Their love felt so intense and pure. I was rooting for them the whole time, desperately hoping they would get their happy ending together.
As a Cornish girl I felt so attached to a lot of the places mentioned in the book. It was amazing to see them coming to life in front of my eyes, from a historical perspective. It added an extra personal touch for me.
At times I found this book so hard to put down. It was written at a great pace and kept me on my toes. The plot twist was thrilling and had my heart racing. I did not see it coming! I loved the way Nicola Pryce managed to seamlessly weave the story together in the last few chapters. There were no loose ends, creating a satisfying and wonderful ending to the novel. I have never read any of Pryce’s novels before, but I will definitely be getting more now!
I definitely recommend this to anyone who loves historical fiction with romance and mystery intertwined throughout.
