The Original by Nell Stevens is a compelling and well-written historical novel that I think will definitely be a hit with readers.

Set in 1899 this wonderful read tells the story of Grace.

Grace is a painter, an artist with the ability to spot forgeries and when her long lost councin returns home there are a few family members who question if he really is who he says he is..

I loved this book. It is atmospheric and a well told tale,

Highly recommended

I very much enjoyed this, it had me wondering all the way through, was this person actually Charles?
Grace was an interesting character, an amazing artist, all the talk of art had me googling some paintings too.
Whilst I felt I preferred the first half, firmly set in the Hall, the last part of the book brought everything together so well.
A really, really good read.
