Love, betrayal and revenge abound in this historical tragedy that unfolds quite brilliantly through the writing of a supremely gifted author of historical fiction.. When two girls fall for the same man - one a queen, the other her serving girl, Elissa knows she is playing with fire, but she can't resist. Queen Dido suspects nothing, until one fateful night when secrets are revealed, hearts are broken and as dawn breaks, a terrible tragedy unfolds. Love can be deadly. As always with Adele Geras's work, the characters walk off the page, she brings the place wonderfully to life and you can hear the sounds and smell the scents. It's another page-turner.
