MacColl, Mary-Rose

MacColl (In Falling Snow) weaves the threads of each story into a compelling account of friendship, love, loss, and betrayal. This gift to historical fiction readers is also recommended to fans of Pam Jenoff.

Readers who enjoy their historical fiction with complex characters and a fast-paced narrative will undoubtedly find this novel a perfect fit.

In this intricately woven tapestry, Australian author MacColl, making her U.S. debut, seamlessly fuses the distant past in Iris's story with the more recent past in Grace's tale. Both women exhibit bone-deep strength, and while their stories are richly detailed and can stand alone, readers will enjoy the way they play off each other.
