MY RATING: 3.5/5
I've loved all of Susanna Kearsley's novels and cannot wait to read this next prize from a library book sale!
---
A new time-slip romance mixing the past journal of Mary Dundas, a Jacobite exile, and future codebreaker Sara Thomas, who must crack the journal's cipher.
Another classic time-swapping Kearsley tale! I love her style. She always mixes romance with history, drama, past and present. In this particular novel, I liked the characters in the past much more than the character in the present. But then again, I do love historical fiction. Mary was brilliant. And who couldn't love the mysterious Hugh?
I appreciated Kearsley widening her horizons and including a main character with Asperger's syndrome. She was strong and bright and vulnerable. A lovely character. I also really enjoyed the secret codes (ciphers) involved in the story.
Overall, another lovely read. If you like Kearsley's other books, you will love this.
