Critics Review

My favourite book in a long while: a spellbinding tale that manages to be both literary and romantic. The language is pitch perfect, the heroine marvellously alive and full of hope and heartbreak. I didn’t want it to end. - Julia Gregson, author of East of the Sun

Melissa Jones has created a passionate and beguiling story, yet one that is so delicate that I felt at times I was leaning over her troubled heroine’s shoulder, prying into her intimate letters. It is wonderfully rich and elegantly written. A touching portrait of insecurities and misunderstandings that brings a vanished period to life. - Kate Furnivall, author of The Russian Concubine

I loved The Hidden Heart of Emily Hudson; an elegant, persuasive and engrossing novel. - Fay Weldon
