“Spellbinding… Captivating… The 752 pages were not enough. …But this novel is more than its setting: it also is an enthralling love story, a heartwarming celebration of human kindness, and a wonderfully convoluted world of characters whose destinies are left tantalizingly suspended.”
Melinda Bargreen, Seattle Times
“Another meticulously researched period drama with dashes of mystery and romance … Page-turning and atmospheric.”
Kirkus Reviews
Three additional novels appear under Rosina’s name, including Homestead, which won the PEN/Hemingway award.
