I am not familiar with this writer and was pleased to receive an advanced copy. I am a huge historical fiction reader. The story begins with Lucy, a war widow who is working in her uncles publishing house. We immediately have a chemistry between Lucy and the new editor recently returned from war. Lucy is living over the shop because the young editor is living with her Aunt and Uncle. He disappears frequently for day trips that leave Lucy puzzled.
I admit, it was hard to really get into the story. I did not feel the initial pull I would of liked. There were other characters such as a mysterious Doctor who wanted to know too much, an elderly neighbor who has written a book and a shop girl downstairs always curious. We also got glimpses into the publishing world.
I look forward to additional books by this author to see where they will go.
