Genre: Paranormal Romance
Description
Abigail Lloyd is a talented, grief-stricken young artist who returns to the Welsh village where she had spent many happy years with her beloved Nan. A home where she had always felt loved and safe. A place she hoped to begin her life again and find her own destiny; but on her return, she finds secrets that were long forgotten locked away in an old suitcase. Secrets from her childhood that will push her beliefs to the limit.
Cain is in love with a woman he knows he can never possess. He has watched her grow into a beautiful young woman, but in his harsh world, he knows she would never survive. He never questions the dark tunnel that allows him glimpses of another time, because it leads him to her. It is their destiny to meet.
Set amongst the Welsh mountains and the ruthless reality of the 19th century copper mines where life is in the hands of the elements and injury, and starvation and death are stark reminders of the time.
Karen’s Review
I was so lucky to win this book before it was published. I have read P. J. Roscoe before and knew I was in for a good story.
It started out as bedtime reading, a chapter a night. As I got past the middle, the household chores stopped as I kept picking it up to read the next bit.
One of the most interesting things about the storyline was the setting. Beddgelert is not that far from where I live, but I haven’t visited for many years. The place plays a crucial part as the characters move around the village, across the river, to the mines, and to the pubs.
The cottage where the main character was living sounds so charming and I want to go back and visit again.
I would love to walk in the footsteps of the characters, feel the charm of the area, and experience the magic of the place once more. I remember it being lovely and even visited the grave of Gelert, the dog, which is also mentioned in the story. This time, I would be thinking of Abbie, Cain, Daniel, and all the other characters.
No spoilers, but as the book drew to a close, I began to wonder whether Abbie would realise someone in the village had the same last name as Cain, and maybe find out he is an ancestor. All sorts of possibilities ran through my mind as I tried to second-guess how it would end. Stories often do things you don’t expect and it’s fun when the end is different from what you imagine.
