A fantastical romance, with an interesting blend of history and present day. 29 year old Katharina works for a magazine, has a rather annoying fiance, and tells her own story as she meets the occupants of Northfield. Simply told, this is an easy reading romance, however the fantasy element means you need to throw reality aside for a few hours. I quite happily shouted at Katharina from the sidelines as I urged her to see what was in front of her. The dependable and rather lovely George was a breath of fresh air. I did feel that ‘A Different Reflection’ was an incy wincy bit longer than perhaps it needed to be. There is a fairytale feel to the story, of the ‘happily ever after’ rather than ‘Grimm’ variety, ensuring this is a sweet, charming story. ~ Liz Robinson
