I am feeling incredibly bereft after finishing this.
I found myself wanting to race through it to find out what happened and whether Fred and Chrissie found each other but I kept putting it down because I didnโt want it to end.
The first thing that grabbed me was Elisabethโs vivid descriptions of places. Iโve never been anywhere near St Kilda but the images that came to mind were so very real.
This book was so astonishingly beautifully written. It was incredibly moving - a real historical love story.
Iโve never read any of Elisabeth Giffordโs books before but since finishing this, Iโve added them all my wishlist.
