Cleeton artfully weaves together two storylines, each featuring a different but equally sympathetic heroine, to create a compelling mystery with plenty of gothic atmosphere. Recommended for fans of suspenseful historical fiction about courageous women determined to uncover the truth no matter the cost.
Highly recommended for readers looking for an engrossing page-turner about wronged women willing to risk everything to turn the tables on dangerous men.
Historical fiction fans will love this novel and its perfectly detailed descriptions of a long-gone era. This is another slam-dunk from Cleeton (Next Year in Havana).
Cleeton should add to her growing fan base with this title, which is well suited for book clubs and for historical fiction fans of authors such as Renée Rosen and Susan Meissner.
Despite occasional plot missteps—overwrought history lessons embedded as clumsy dialog, Marisol's implausibly fast-tracked romance—internationally savvy readers will appreciate exploring enigmatic Cuba, then and now, with a Cuban American insider as engaging guide. ["An enticing…read for lovers of historical fiction and soul-searching journeys": LJ 12/17 starred review of the Berkley hc.]
