PRAISE FOR THE LIFE I STOLE:
Nikola's best yet: 1950s London, a female doctor, family mystery, identity theftI was immediately drawn into the story, rooting for the characters all the way to the end. Atmospheric and compelling. I loved it! * Lorna Cook *
A fascinating novel packed with intrigue, heart and emotion. The author brought the realities and attitudes of post-war London to life through a complex and delightful character for whom I was rooting all the way. As with all her novels, Scott's historical detail from extensive research shines through on every page, transporting her reader through time and place. Most importantly, this is a story of innocent lives destroyed by harsh, prejudiced social norms, the power of love, and forgiveness. I loved it! * Louise Fein *
This beautiful story stole my heart. A compelling read for anyone who loves great stories, love and romance, mysteries and secrets, the early years of the NHS and women in medicine. I tore through it! * Lizzie Page *
