BGS Gold Quality Mark:
“This is a wonderfully well written, constructed and edited book. The story moves along at a good pace and the reader is pulled into the world and time in the first chapter.”

Utter brilliance. I was captivated from beginning to end. Vicky really brings the characters to life and you can really engage with what it must have been like to be a young girl like Gwenna going into business at the turn of the century in a male dominated society. I was totally engaged with every character, each one contributing to make this a truly wonderful story; my only disappointment was when it ended. This is the first book I have read by this author but it won’t be my last.
