WOW!! i was sucked into the book from the very start! imelda (or madame burova) looks back on her experience as a tarot card reader, the good and the bad, from her booth on the Brighton seafront. she has been told deepest, darkest secrets in her time which she cannot escape and has promises which she must fulfil.
far away, in london, billie is also deciding whether to make a fresh start. as if she didnt have enough to worry about, what with marriage, university and the passing of her father, she discovers something that leaves her indentity in question.
Ruth Hogan has a magical way of presenting different timelines, characters, friendships, stories and places and this book came to life inside my head so easily. i am totally enthralled by the writing and story- it is so different to anything i have read before- and i am about to open amazon to buy some more of Hogan's books now !!
