Why this lender recommends it

"It’s too bad Frances Fyfield books are no longer published in the US. I’m a very big fan, and this is the book I like best. Sarah Fortune is a delightful unpredictable character, with a past history of abuse and a big enough heart to forgive and give compassion to the worst of the worst. Fyfield provides a nice alternative to the good guy-bad guy dynamic. She turns it around so the bad guys find redemption through the quirky ministrations of Sarah (or, in her other books, a similar main character,) a flawed but almost Christ-like figure. Fyfield’s plots are meandering and tangential, and she does a lot of analyzing of her characters, two no-nos in the writing schools. But I love it." - Reviewer on Goodreads.com
