Overall, I was completely taken away by this bookIt's beautiful * Mystic Reads Book Blog *
Give this a go if you enjoy historical fiction, the landscape as a character and lovers finding their way back to each other time and time again despite mistakes on both sides. A realistic, heart-rending look at the ties of love, familial and other, and how they bind us and free us simultaneously * Chrikaru Blog *
I particularly appreciated the descriptions of Cornwall and Venice and the author captured them in a satisfyingly evocative way * Nudge Books *
