'The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge is a novel about women's thwarted ambitions, opportunities denied, scientific ethics and the consequences of unearthing long-buried secrets. Heartfelt and empathetic, its inter-generational family relationships are sensitively drawn and the characters step off the page. Threaded through with birdsong and picturesque Norfolk landscapes, it's also a story told with purpose and conviction, which took me to unexpected places' CAROLINE SCOTT, author of The Photographer of the Lost
