This novel is set between to time periods current day England and 70's England, both of which are very well written and I enjoyed the cultural references to those who rose to fame in the 70's and 80's
I was initially drawn in through the beautiful artwork on the cover. From the opening sentence I was immediately pulled into the world and the idea of all the secrets Madam Burova holds and I would happily read a book from Ruth Hogan especially after seeing her writing shown in the first look. I love the idea of the central character Madam Burova holding all these secrets and I am dying to read on to find out the secrets in the envelopes.
I found the way Ruth Hogan began showing how the different charters all interlink, and I found her characterisation of each of the main characters and how they differ from their perspectives and those around them refreshing.
