Not really knowing what this book was about I was unprepared for the journey it would take me on. Set in three eras and following the lives of two women across two continents it might have been confusing. But each chapter had a place and time as the title and each woman had a distinctive voice so there was not trouble. An epic historical mystery that gave away none of its secrets until the proper time. Kate Morton creates portals back and forth in time and place and introduces us to two interesting strong female characters whose lives were different but who shared an incredible bond. Beautifully written. Fans of historical fiction and mystery both will enjoy this book.
