A FORBIDDEN LOVE.
AN IMPOSSIBLE CHOICE...

When Pixie Tate is summoned to the wild Cornish coast to unravel a curious mystery at the stately St Sidwell Manor, she knows that something quite extraordinary must be hiding in its shadows.

Over one hundred years ago, in the dark of night, a child vanished from his bed never to be seen again - and Pixie must now discover the truth of those final moonlit hours.

As she loses herself in the past, secrets are revealed, love affairs exposed and, ultimately, Pixie will be forced to make a devastating choice that will change her life forever...

A wonderful read that paints an insightful picture of a chapter in social history that Santa always captures so well. Her vivid and beautiful, historical storytelling is always well researched and the images it evokes are so real. At the centre of this beautiful novel is the affirmation that love is central to life and how those we have loved just are a whisper away. A thought provoking book that will stay with me for some while. I look forward to further reading of Pixie and her journeys.

Loved this book couldn’t put it down, Pixie the main character is a very different kind of heroine. The time sliding was so believable, can’t wait for the rest of the trilogy. Really hoping she meets her great love again. I’ve read all of the authors previous books and this one really didn’t disappoint.

Intriguing mystery, romance and time-travel, mixed with Santa's usual descriptive prose and flair for story-telling, made this one of my favourites of her many novels. Looking forward to part two of three!

I loved every minute reading Santa’s book. She has written a lot and I have read them, but this is the best of them all. I cannot wait for the next one. Santa, I hope you are writing away as I review this book.

This is one of my favourite authors but I’m afraid this novel isn’t for me. Certainly won’t be buying any sequels.

It was a total new concept ( time sliding)I had never heard before. When Pixie Tate arrives you can’t put the book down you have to know how it all ends.
I love all of Santa Montefiore’s books and so glad she is now in ebooks.
