This is one of those books I really struggle to review because so much happens that anything I say is a potential spoiler so this will be brief.
I loved it for several reasons. Firstly I loved the mystery element and thoroughly enjoyed following the story as Tara goes back into her past and tries to uncover what happened to her mother. I also enjoyed the time slip element of the novel as it flitted back and forth from past to present as Tara's story unfolded bringing several character's narrative together. Me being me I loved the historical aspects of the story and the feel for the different world the characters lived in before the internet and mobile phones.
If you love a story which uncovers a mystery and will keep you guessing you'll love this.
