Review # 1 was written on 2020-09-17 00:00:00 John Declark I was immersed in this throughout the month of August. It's a compelling read about how an unemployed history teacher takes on an assignment of historical research into the life of former Home Secretary Edwin Strafford, at the time of the Suffragettes, and how hidden events surrounding his resignation reverberate with force a lifetime later. A great book with satisfying resolutions to the story threads.

Review # 2 was written on 2009-01-27 00:00:00 BRIAN COLE I've just read this book for the second time and I have to single it out for a special recommendation. It is absolutely brilliant. Evocative of places I love - Madeira and Devon. Craftily hinged around historical detail. Amazingly cleverly plotted and so gripping I didn't want to go out! Quite the best book I've rerad in years. I'd love to hear if anyone else shares my enthusiasm for it.
