This novel was so good !! I had my doubts when I was reading the blurb as although this story sounded really interesting I wasn't sure how it was going to work. This story is absolutely amazing - all the characters in this book are interesting and it really gives you a feel of the times and what life was like for woman ( and how hard some women fought for change) The story flowed really well even though the story was told in two different times. It was one of those books you think about long after you have read it. It was also one of those novels where you learn things too. I haven't read anything from this author before but I will definately look for more of her books. I throughly recommend this book.
