Description: "A novel rapturous with the joys of history...Anna's story is told in a wonderfully convincing, brittle, adolescent voice." - The Australian "An ambitious beginning, as much a ghost story as a romance." - The Observer "This is that rare thing, a book that works on every conceivable level...An uncommonly good read...A real achievement." - London Times "A convincing and involving read. A book to lose yourself in this summer." - Daily Mail (London) "Emma Darwin's prose is golden and convincing. The book is an addictive, engaging foray into historical fiction." - Express "The two stories that Darwin tells here add up to something hauntingly beautiful." - Washington Post Book World "[A] strong debut . . . Similar to Ian McEwan's Atonement in its compelling, literary blend of war history and romantic relationships. . . . Darwin will be an author to watch." - Library Journal "Impressive . . . [an] ambitious, alluring tale." - People
