Reviews

'Romance, heartache and local history make a magical mixture...passion on every page' Northern Echo -- Northern Echo 'An ultimately heartwarming tale. Unlike some sagas, all the main characters here are well drawn and their motivations clearly set down. Elsewhere, the baddies often have totally black hearts, and the goodies are angelic beyond belief, but Brown writes more subtly than that, which makes for a satisfying read' Historical Novels Review -- Historical Novels Review 20030801
