utterly enthralling from start to finish!' NetGalley reviewer 'This is the best historical fiction I've read,' NetGalley reviewer 'I cannot stop talking about how much I love this book,' NetGalley reviewer 'A genuine pleasure,' NetGalley reviwer Gold title * Flora Harding meets Madeline Martin, this is a sweeping time-slip novel that unites two key trends in this genre: the royals and bookish WWII historical fiction. * Daisy Wood is an exciting emerging brand in the historical fiction space, with over 175,000 copies of her books sold to date. Her first two books, The Clockmaker's Wife and The Forgotten Bookshop in Paris, were both Globe and Mail bestsellers. * Daisy Wood's voice lends itself to time-slip historical fiction like no other, intertwining the two timelines so masterfully that she breaks your heart with one, only to put it back together with the other - and many readers cite that this is what helps her to stand apart from other authors in the genre. * With all eyes trained on the royal family over the coming months, with an impending coronation and many still mourning the loss of our longest-serving monarch, we can expect an influx of royal-inspired titles to flood the market - and, with Daisy's existing readership, we're perfectly positioned to lead this trend in the historical fiction space.
