This story takes you from Egypt to England with all of the differences between the two brilliantly described. Louisa and Henry are supported by an amazing cast that I loved getting to know and I really want to see more of them! The pacing is spot-on with the whole book moving along nicely without a wasted word or unnecessary flourish.
This was a fantastic read that I thoroughly enjoyed. So good to read a Nicola Cameron classic again. Absolutely recommended by me.
