Summary
A thrilling dual timeline mystery that you won’t be able to put down! Perfect for fans of Sarah Burton, Stacey Halls, Jessie Burton and Kate Mosse.
Do you have the power to change your fate?
Pembrokeshire, Wales, 2020
Serious illness has forced Eleanor Wilder to leave her life in London, close her antique shop and return to the family farm in Pembrokeshire. Her instinct is to hide from the world but when her parents bring her to a family reunion at the nearby house, Cliffside, she is transfixed by a set of old family photographs.
One of the images is of a woman in theatrical dress, labelled ‘Esme Blood'—a name that is familiar to Eleanor through a set of Victorian tarot cards and diaries that she found through her shop. Certain the name is unusual enough not to be a coincidence, Eleanor begins to research the life of this intriguing woman.
London, England, 1875
Born to a teenage mother who couldn’t cope, Esme Blood is adopted by the ebullient Cornelius and Rosie Hardy into a touring theatrical troupe, along with her friend Aaron. When Aaron’s grandparents return to claim him, Esme is devastated and the two promise they will find each other.
Outgrowing her adopted lifestyle, Esme decides to set out to seek her fortune, and she relies on a deck of Tarot cards to direct her. But fate can be a cruel mistress, and before long Esme finds herself trapped in a loveless marriage.
Did Esme find happiness? Was she ever reunited with Aaron?
And will researching her family history bring healing to Eleanor....

It grew on me…
I really loved book one and so I was really happy to see that there was a book 2 in the series. At first I was disappointed because it seemed very similar to book one but as the story went on it grew on me.

It's not you, it's me
It took me an age to get into this book. I just wasn't in the right place mentally. So it's me, not Alexandra Walsh who had put in interesting characters, well research historical aspects and great plot twists.

Fantastic and moving story with great historical content.
I felt I was inside the story. The narrator has taken it to a different level. I like the way mental health history was brought up. The characters were well written. I don’t know what to do now it’s finished.

Another Wonderful Book
This is another wonderful book by Alexandrea Walsh. Highly recommended this book to all. I love the concept of a modern story line running parallel with a historical one.

very irritating baby voices used for some females
Story was fairly interesting but not that engaging the worst thing was the annoying voices given to a few of the female characters totally put me off. I persevered but did not enjoy it because the voices were distracting and irritated me.
