Great read with surprises around every corner.

This is a well written book. It is a family drama not a mystery story. It is a little too psychological for me.

Nice book easy read.not to compelling and a little winding in some chapters.

Enjoyable

This novel would probably attract more women on the basis of 1881 Aristocracy era. I appreciate the research effort to understand the daily lives and tragedies of the characters in this period.

An excellent story, recounted by a superb writer. A tale that was engrossing from the first page, to the last. I enjoyed getting to know all the various characters and was truly saddened when the story came to a satisfying, but much too early, conclusion. I’m certain some day I will reread this grand piece of fiction!

How suffocating it was for women back in those days. I’d have hated men to the core.

very interesting plot, good characters and fine language.

I just loved the story, wishing I could read to the end of Helena’s life to see what happens next. Great background, mystery and suspense for what will happen next! Love love loved it!

A truly enjoyable mystery. I loved the twists and turns the author incorporated into the storyline. Totally fascinating.
