|summary=Deborah Swift's captivating writing makes you feel as if you're in Restoration London alongside the two lead characters of this excellent historical novel. Highly recommended.

}}

In Restoration England, Sadie Appleby and her older sister Ella flee their home in Westmorland to try to lose themselves in London. They're forced to try and avoid the relatives of the dead man who Ella robbed and build a new life, but things aren't always what they seem in the capital and they're left trying to work out just who they can trust.

One of my favourite historical novels of recent years is Anne O'Brien's wonderful novel about Eleanor of Aquitaine, [[Devil's Consort by Anne O'Brien]].
