3 out of 5 Stars
This book is a difficult one to review. The plot was interesting, and for most parts kept me turning the page, but sometimes the modern day forced itself into the narrative and the dialogue which was a shame as this could have been a fabulous book. This is a good debut by author, Rachel Florence Roberts, but I think the modern day imposed itself on the story just a little too much. Roberts can certainly write; there are cracking sections of prose in this book, but unfortunately the writing isn't consistent. Maybe a writer to look for in the future as she becomes more confident with her writing.
