review 1: I remember as a teen reading Lady of Hay, so when I saw this on offer I thought I'd give it a go. It had the same page-turning level of suspense, but with a more mature eye it was not as satisfying as I recalled Erskine to be. It felt overlong, the escalation of the main modern drama seemed almost repetitive and I chuckled at how often people "threw" themselves into chairs- surprisingly lax from an author of so many books. The choice of topic was bold and adding the element of a woman's place in the Christian church was interesting, but it failed to really explore it in detail. Overall, a fun, undemanding read for a lazy Sunday that could have lost 100 pages easily.
review 2: Barbara Erskine's books are so much fun. There's something about her stories that prov... moreide me with the perfect degree of escapism. For one, they confirm all that I imagine Britain to be (I've yet to visit there). Two, they're eerie without ever being terrifying (I'm completely accepting of the supernatural elements in these stories; suspension of disbelief is not a problem). Three, they're familiar each time without being overly formulaic or predictable. I do pay attention to people's reviews and choose accordingly when picking my Erskine reads. Back when I started reading these, she'd published only a few. I only recently picked up a couple more of her books, and since it's been about a decade and a half since I last read anything by her, I've got lots of choice now. Brava, Barbara! less
