An absorbing lovely story,Atmospheric full of wonderful characters emotions so well written.Will be recommending this wonderful novel&author,

A timeless love that much endures heartbreaking tragedy thought many long years before it draws to a close and you weep the streaming tears of both joy and sadness.

I thoroughly enjoyed this historical fiction set in Bombay during WWI. I was drawn to the two main characters and the once in a lifetime love story that they shared. The author's depiction of Bombay were so real that I could feel the stifling heat, taste the spices and hear the chaos of the Indian markets. The descriptions of the war were accurate but not too graphic. I did feel the book dragged a bit towards the end. I had a sense for the ending and was ready to tie things up. If you're a fan of historical fiction romances, I recommend this one!

This was a beautiful and sometimes tragic book. The writing was descriptive and I could imagine being there, feeling the heat and experiencing what Maddy did.

Kindly received an ARC from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ashcroft delivers a heart-wrenching love story set in the colorful World War I era India that will hook you and not let you go. The characters are charismatic, the plot heady, and rife with emotion as these young adults struggle to find each other and their lives again. A bit Nicholas Sparks-like, I was getting aggravated with the turn of events until they turned again in my favor. Such a sweet love story with so many events, Ashcroft masterfully captured the essence of life and love.

I loved this book. Couldn't put it down. The characters are well-developed in such wonderful descriptive writing. The author knows her history and keeps her readers enthralled to an unexpected ending. Lovely book.

I definitely this this one will be a hit! This book blew me away! I was unable to but it down. Perfect, dazzlingly, very well written. The details the author described throughout the book was so amazing. The characters and storyline were fantastic. The ending I did not see coming Truly Amazing and appreciated the whole story. This is going to be a must read for many many readers.

I really loved this book – it’s an enthralling story, haunting in its every detail, so beautifully written. The character development is quite exceptional – and the whole book had an unforgettable impact. Highly, highly recommended.'
