‘This is a very clever and absorbing book, and certainly makes me want to know more about that fascinating period in history. Emma Darwin really brings her three central characters alive, and she draws the contemporary and historical strands of her narrative together in a satisfying way. If you want a rich and rewarding book, exploring many facets of history, love, relationships and family, absorbing, enjoyable and making you think on many levels, this is a great book to read’ A reader on Amazon ‘Darwin has researched her novel with care, and she provides an after word putting the tales of Anthony and Elizabeth into their historical context. I heartily recommend this novel’ A reader on Amazon ‘A Secret Alchemy is simultaneously an emotional novel and an eye-opening text, and even though I finished it a month ago, it is still very vivid in my mind’ A reader on Amazon |
