Review

`A warm-hearted and engaging novel that breathes fresh life into the well-known tragedy of the Titanic' Amanda Brookfield. PRAISE FOR GILL PAUL'S OTHER NOVELS `Meticulously researched and evocatively written, this sweeping story will keep a tight hold on your heartstrings until the final page' Iona Grey `A cleverly crafted novel and an enthralling story: the heartbreak genuine, the research brilliant. I love the way the present narrative throws light on the past story so that the transitions are smooth. A triumph.' Dinah Jefferies `A marvellous story: gripping, romantic and evocative of a turbulent and fascinating time' Lulu Taylor `This was just magical. At the last line, tears rolled down my cheeks. Highly recommended.' Louise Beech 'A heart-warming affirmation of the tenacity of human love' Liz Trenow 'Gill Paul has crafted a beautiful book. The passages set in Russia in 1914 are so richly described and researched that I felt as if I was living in the pages myself. I adored it.' Amanda Jennings `This is an intriguing and involving book that explores a really fascinating period in time in a clever and highly enjoyable way. I was hooked into both timelines from the start.' Joanna Courtney, author of The Chosen Queen and The Constant Queen `A beautiful and moving story, beautifully and movingly told. I read it in just two sittings . . . I enjoyed every page' John Julius Norwich `Gill Paul has clearly done her research in this absorbing story that cleverly blends imagination with historical fact. Tragic, touching and authentic-feeling.' Kate Riordan `A marvellous moving adventure, full of vivid colour and atmospheric detail. If you loved POLDARK you'll love this!' Lulu Taylor `A terrific adventure story, full of romance and atmospheric detail - a great escapist read' Liz Trenow
