Chrissie Reid is a broken and scared shadow of the woman she used to be. Her husband Jack, is evil, malicious and beats his wife for the simplest of things. One night Chrissie has been beaten within an inch of her life and resorts to poisoning Jack. Having found sanctuary in an old friend their relationship begins to grow and, with no recollection of what happened to her husband she is led to believe that she killed him. Rebuilding her life in a better way she carries on for years keeping the secret to herself, only to receive a letter one day that turns her whole world upside down. Living on a small Orkney island, things are hard for the islanders as the threat of the first world war creeps in but, more so for Chrissie as her secretly kept demons are escaping.
With unforeseen events happening throughout the book it constantly keeps your emotions on the go. Set in 1906 i really felt i was in the times with them as the characters are so well written and thought out. I thoroughly enjoyed this book it was not as i expected, it was great. The romantic side to the story outweighs the hardships that Chrissie faces making all her loss's easier to bare. There is so much more i would love to say about this book but i can't without giving too much away. A great read thank you.
