My rating: 5*Genre I reckon: Historical Fiction (journey)

This is the second (and I think concluding) book in this series. And is, imho, even better than the first (my review of The Wheelwright's Daughter is here).
I don't want to give away any spoilers, so I'll just say... Oh, Jacob!!! Oh, Martha!
Try as she might to blend in, Martha was made to stand out. And she attracts trouble like a magnet. But what will she do this time when she's cornered?
I love the detailed journey in this tale, and the different characters we get to meet, some of whom challenge perceptions. For who is good and who is bad? Indeed, can anyone be trusted? The sights, sounds and smells all leap off the page.
The addition of Talbot in this story was amazing. Such an intriguing character.
More amazing still is knowing a lot of this is hung from the threads of historic truth. But woven with exceptional storytelling.
This is historical fiction not romance (no HEA). In fact, the ending is a bit odd yet appropriate.
CAUTION: Does feature child loss, violence and abuse.
Always in love and light,
TL
