It has so many layers and they all capture your heart. In my opinion Rowan Coleman is one of the best writers of our time.' Katie Fforde'I'm so happy because she's written other books and its so lovely to find a writer you love who has a backlist' Marian Keyes'This book will keep you wide-eyed and awake until dawn. A rare combination of sensitive and gripping. Like the ghosts of Ponden Hall the story will linger with you long after you close the pages.' Carole Matthews
