Critic reviews

Praise for the Cornish Girls series:

‘A fascinating story, beautifully written, with interesting characters I really liked. A most enjoyable read!’ Kitty Neale, Sunday Times bestselling author of A Daughter’s Ruin

‘A warm-hearted story – at times I laughed and at others I held my breath … I loved the characters and I’m delighted it is the first in a series’ Pam Weaver, Sunday Times bestselling author of Goodnight Sweetheart

Extremely slow

I much preferred the original narrator from the first of the series. It's always an adjustment changing from one narrator to another in a series. I'm always curious about how that decision comes about. I think my enjoyment of the book would have been greatly enhanced without the distraction of some of the voices that were quite grating for me.
