À propos de cet audio

Beloved New York Times best-selling author Susanna Kearsley delivers a riveting novel that deftly intertwines the tales of two women, divided by centuries and forever changed by a clash of love and fate.

For nearly 300, the cryptic journal of Mary Dundas has kept its secrets. Now, amateur codebreaker Sara Thomas travels to Paris to crack the cipher.

Jacobite exile Mary Dundas is filled with longing - for freedom, for adventure, for the family she lost. When fate opens the door, Mary dares to set her foot on a path far more surprising and dangerous than she ever could have dreamed.

As Mary's gripping tale of rebellion and betrayal is revealed to her, Sara faces events in her own life that require letting go of everything she thought she knew - about herself, about loyalty, and especially about love. Though divided by centuries, these two women are united in a quest to discover the limits of trust and the unlikely coincidences of fate.

Looking for historical fiction after finishing the Outlander books led me to Kearsley, who is now my favourite author. I haven't been disappointed by any of her books, but I think this is one of her best. There are many interesting characters and two separate storylines (one set in the present and the other in the past) that are skillfully woven together to create a coherent narrative. Although most of her books are narrated by Carolyn Bonneyman, I enjoyed Katherine Kellgren's performance. Like Bonneyman, she can cover a surprising range of accents, which was critical for this book.

Loved it so much that I'm listening again

I didn't think I'd be into this type of a story ad I usually read thrillers and mysteries, but this was fantastic. At first the narrator was a bit too classic British but I got used to it about 15 minutes in. The story is wonderful and unexpected.

Captivating story with a great narrator.

You appreciate just how much work it takes to write this type of novel when you hear the author detail her research at the end of the novel. The story was seamless and I was invested the whole time.

Another Excellent Story
