Blurb
Star D'Aplièse is at a crossroads in her life after the sudden death of her beloved father—the elusive billionaire, affectionately called Pa Salt by his six daughters, all adopted from across the four corners of the world. He has left each of them a clue to her true heritage, and Star nervously decides to follow hers, which leads her to an antiquarian bookshop in London, and the start of a whole new world.
A hundred years earlier, headstrong and independent Flora MacNichol vows she will never marry. She is happy and secure in her home in England's picturesque Lake District—just a stone's throw away from the residence of her childhood idol, Beatrix Potter—when machinations lead her to London, and the home of one of Edwardian society's most notorious society hostesses, Alice Keppel. Flora is torn between passionate love and her duty to her family, but finds herself a pawn in a larger game. That is, until a meeting with a mysterious gentleman unveils the answers that Flora has been searching for her whole life...
As Star learns more of Flora's incredible journey, she too goes on a voyage of discovery, finally stepping out of the shadow of her sister and opening herself up to the possibility of love.
My Opinion
This is definitely not a series I would have chosen to read, but I was gifted the first three in the series and I have to say that so far I am loving them. I think with this book I was so interested to learn more about Flora, that I just devoured it. I read over 60% of this in one day - eager to learn more about Flora and Beatrix Potter.
This really is such a delightful series, and whilst the books are very long they are definitely worth the hours needed to read them.
Rating 4/5
