Have just come back to say I have finished The Rose of Sebastopol by Katherine McMahon and as the publishers promised, I did absolutely LOVE it.
It was wonderful, stunning, so rich in historical detail and characterization and plot that I want to give a copy to all of my friends.
It's one of those books I feel privileged to have read and I've just voted for it on the Richard and Judy book club.
Go Rose go!
