The Secret of the Chateau is a feel-good story that kept me turning the pages right to the end.

The Silken Rose is the first of the new Rose Trilogy by Carol McGrath and tells the story of Ailenor of Provence.

The Dark Horizon is a poignant love story and family drama full of intrigue, set between the wars.

The Ninth Child is an intriguing mix of fact, fiction and fairy-tale fantasy. Sally Magnusson, also author of The Sealwoman’s Gift, writes in beautiful lyrical prose, evoking an ominous atmosphere from dangers unseen.

I was first attracted to The Pearl of Penang by the gorgeous cover and the lush setting but then was quickly drawn into the story.
