Description
As the pandemic loosens its grasp Peter and Ellisha Kelso find their lives spiralling out of control. But Edinburgh is a city of secrets and, through a chance encounter, they stumble across the most dangerous one of all, known only as The Woman's Secret.
Armed with this knowledge, they set out to heal a damaged world and, before they know it, the idea has gone viral. American and mixed-race, Ellisha is an unlikely messiah, but she soon becomes the new face of hope for despairing people everywhere.
But if they thought The Woman's Secret would produce a kinder, gentler world, they are in for a terrible shock.

An amazing book, learned and mystical, but an exciting thriller as well. Peter and Elisha are the main characters in this novel, and I don't wish to spoil it by saying what happens, but the novel is unique and well worth reading, in fact I could not put the book down, once I had started it. I had to see what happened next, it is a real page turner. Highly recommended.

Ellisha is a fascinating character and an unusual hero. I could see her fitting well into a Stephen King novel as he is known for his unusual and very convincing characters - what a huge compliment this comparison is for any author. It’s a great story which defies categorisation. It’s high drama as well as thriller and almost fantasy. It is all the more compelling as I read it in the grips of a pandemic.
