Excellent read
5.0 out of 5 stars Great read
This book has it all, intrigue, excitement, heartbreak and love. What more could we ask for!Starting in Abbotsford with Rose discovering a young boy in amongst the nativity scene in the village. It’s evident by his appearance that he has been bad used so Rose decides to sneak him into the vicarage in order that her mother doesn’t see him, this would remind her of her son Felix who died at this time of year. To make matters worse the boy appears to have lost his memory but Rose is sure by his behaviour that he is very scared so she decides to keep him safe (who from).There is so much going on in this story that it’s hard to put it down.I loved the relationship between the sisters and their gentle teasing. My favourite character has to be Jago and his innocence. If only he realised that Rose suffered from the same problem as himself in that they didn’t know who to trust! I found Rose to be quite naive, probably due to her sheltered upbringing.That said, it was one of my favourite Dilly books.

5.0 out of 5 stars Cracking read
This has it all. From finding an almost naked child in rags in a manger to kidnapping and being dragged to the altar. There is something very lovely in the details that are described in the book, from the damaged soles of the feet, to the smell and damage of smoke and fire and to the travel on the sea.The book manages to mix time! With long passages of description of the world the families are living in, to the fear and love they feel and yet it still clips along at a fast pace, packing in adventure, cross channel journeys and malevolence.
