About this listen

Italy in 1819. Emilia Barton and her mother, Sarah, live a nomadic existence, travelling from town to town as itinerant dressmakers to escape their past. When they settle in the idyllic coastal town of Pesaro, Emilia desperately hopes that this time they have found a permanent home. But when Sarah is brutally attacked by an unknown assailant, a deathbed confession turns Emilia's world upside down.

Seeking refuge as a dressmaker in the eccentric household of Princess Caroline of Brunswick, Emilia experiences her first taste of love with the charming Alessandro. But her troubling history gnaws away at her. Might she, a humble dressmaker's daughter, have a more aristocratic past than she could have imagined?

When the Princess sends her on an assignment to London, Emilia grasps the opportunity to unravel the truth. Caught up in a web of treachery and deceit, she is determined to discover who she really is - even if she risks losing everything....

A very good listen. This is my first book by this author and I was awesomely surprised. Very twisty and turny and a fantastic ending. So good to see that we can never escape our fate. That we can never get away with what we do in life; it will always catch up with us one day, good or bad.

As a love story not so much but incredibly good historical content. As a lover of all things historical this was spot on . Born near Pescara I particularly enjoyed the description of the area. Not mad on the Italian accent but then it was probably the only way to distinguish between characters.. If you like the Regency Era you will love this . 😀 ❤

Great Historical Read
