Caz Fair 5.0 out of 5 stars Great plot Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 26 June 2025 Format: PaperbackVerified Purchase What a thoroughly enjoyable book. Great characters and great plot. The lives of the less fortunate and the privileged intertwining was so interesting. So believable. I have already bought the second book of the trilogy and I am really looking forward to finding out the fate of certain characters.
Kindle Customer Val Wood (Saga author) 5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent.. reminiscent of Georgette Heyer Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 July 2021 Format: Kindle EditionVerified Purchase A well told tale of a time when women and 'ladies' were expected to obey their masters and 'betters'. Here we have a feisty young woman who challenges the rules to her own advantage.
