Simply, this is one of the best history books I have read in several years. The book and title character reads like an historical thriller, so many twists and turns. Real life danger lurks at every corner. 5 stars!

This is the scariest book I have ever read! I wanted to be freaked out, and I picked up this book with a hunch that it would do just that.
This story begins with young couple on a romantic getaway in a cozy cabin on the cliffs of Pale Peak. With the fireplace roaring, the hot chocolate steaming, and a recent engagement to celebrate, Felix and Faye are excited with the idea of spending some quality time together. But as winter approaches and the snow begins to fall, something outside begins to take an interest in the couple. Things start to go bump in the night, Faye begins to talk in her sleep, and Felix is horrified when he realises that she is talking to someone who is outside the cabin!
If you want to be scared and don’t mind reading with every light on in the house, give this book your attention! I couldn’t recommend it highly enough.

A beautifully written debut novel that follows three women who face love and loss while surviving the brutal Japanese occupation of Hong Kong during the second World War.
If quietly powerful and well-researched historical fiction appeals to you, then I highly recommend adding this book to your reading list.
