Ms. Marshall's debut novella makes an indelible impression. Set in seventeenth century England, we follow Tara through a suspenseful adventure of grief, fear, healing, trust and love. I read the whole thing almost in one night. In terms of feel, this novella reminded me of Wuthering Heights and I Capture the Castle, while at the same time the story was original and fresh. I loved the whole cast of characters, especially Tara, her father and her sisters. And I appreciated how Ms. Marshall never squeezed any character into a cliche. Beautiful story, and I look forward to more from this author!
