Critics Review
An original and uplifting novel that beautifully captures a young woman’s determination to succeed.
A beautifully crafted mesh of conquering adversity/hist-fict/ghost story with a murder investigation slipped in for good measure. A satisfying novel that’s worth every penny and, indeed, every melting moment spent in its company. - The Book Bag on The Visitors
What a delightful book. Full of action, drama and emotion, it is a wonderful, inspiring read. Furthermore the writing is stunningly beautiful. … It is short, immensely powerful and moving. Certainly my favourite book of the month. Stunning. - lovereading.co.uk on The VisitorsHaunting - Irish Tatler on The VisitorsThe Visitors may be Mascull’s first novel, but she writes with the fluency and dexterity of a born writer, deftlycrafting an engrossing story that imbues her characters with tangible sensitivity, warmth and humanity. - Sydney Morning HeraldRebecca Mascull’s second novel continues to showcase her talent for writing intelligent, impeccably researched, absorbing historical fiction. Dawnay Price - foundling, scientist, feminist - is a wondrous character and I was on the edge of my seat following her fortunes. - Louise Walters, author of MRS SINCLAIR’S SUITCASEAbout The Author
