This was everything that I was looking for from a historical fiction novel, it had that element that I was looking for and enjoyed from the description. The overall feel worked with the time-line and enjoyed the way everything worked together to tell the story. The characters felt like they belonged in this world and was hooked from the first page. Natasha Lester has a great writing style and enjoyed the overall package.

Marie-Madeleine‘s story is a fascinating one, and Natasha Lester captures it beautifully. This novel has shades of Casablanca and is a pleasure to read. The setting is rendered beautifully and is almost a character unto itself.
