“With her classic flawless execution and insight, Balogh highlights the
importance of communication and explores the true meaning of love through two
emotionally scarred characters. Another profoundly touching novel that is
nothing short of ‘enchanting;’ a brilliant addition to this satisfying series.” —Library Journal (starred review)
“In Balogh’s Survivor’s Club series, six men and one woman seek recovery
from the travails of the Napoleonic wars. Their close friendship and somewhat
anachronistic but heartwarming mutual support helps them rebuild their lives…There
is always great pleasure in reading a new book from Balogh, and this one is no
exception.” —Publishers Weekly
“Balogh builds on her many past successes with the fourth book in her
Survivors’ Club series…a comfortably entertaining read.” —Kirkus Reviews
“Rosalyn Landor’s expertise with the romance genre shines through this
charming story…Landor’s engagement ensures that every detail of the story
sounds vital, and her sensitivity to the characters keeps listeners attuned to
their emotional and personal development. This is especially true of Agnes,
whose most pragmatic reasoning can’t hide her growing infatuation with Flavian.
Though Landor’s male characters seem overly emphatic in the opening scenes,
they mellow out quickly, becoming both empathetic and believable.” —AudioFile
“With her brilliant, beautiful, and emotionally intense writing, Mary Balogh sets the gold standard in historical romance.” —Jayne Ann Krentz, New York Times bestselling author of The Amateur Marriage, praise for the author
“As always, Balogh crafts a mature, deep, touching love story with an underlying depth of emotion that captures readers’ hearts. Balogh’s quiet, concise prose brims with intense passion and draws on a profound understanding of the healing power of love—it makes her stories shine. This latest Survivor’s Club novel is beautiful.” —RT Book Reviews (4½ stars, Top Pick!)
