Stop the clock and read it in one sitting * SHE *An enchanting novella … Mosse proves that she can weave a web of poignant and thrilling strands that will ensnare any reader * THE LADY *This is a great read … Mosse writes movingly about loss and atmospherically about France * DAILY MAIL *It takes much of what appeals about her bestselling novels - and adds a heartbreaking story - what is really haunting about Mosse’s tale is the rawness of Freddie’s grief * THE TIMES *
