Critics Review
The most exquisitely written, delicate, passionately felt and haunting book I have ever read
‘it is elegant and flexible, most fluently expressing every shade of human emotion’ - Susan Hill
‘The most exquisitely written, delicate, passionately felt and haunting book I have ever read’ - Elizabeth BuchanAbout The Author
F.M. Mayor
Flora Macdonald Mayor was born in 1872 and read history at Cambridge. Five of her novels have been published, one posthumously, and a collection of stories for children. But it is this novel, published in 1913 and THE RECTOR’S DAUGHTER, published in 1924 which best express her artistic genius. After life-long ill-health she died in 1932.
