Recommended Read "Set in England during the late 19th century, this intriguing, haunting, mystical and beautifully-written nature novel explores the lines between science and superstition.
At the same time, it offers the reader a fiercely-independent and unforgettable heroine. A lovely read!" --Neli, Patron Services
