USA TODAY BESTSELLER

This internationally bestselling and “delicious puzzle box of a novel” (The New York Times Review)—in the vein of the vivid novels of Sarah Waters and Sarah Perry—follows an orphaned fortune teller in 18th-century England as she searches for answers about her long-dead mother.

Cornwall, 1730: A young girl known only as Red travels with her father making a living predicting fortunes using the ancient Cornish method of the Square of Sevens. Shortly before he dies, her father entrusts Red’s care to a gentleman scholar, along with a document containing the secret of the Square of Sevens technique.

Raised as a lady amidst the Georgian splendor of Bath, Red’s fortune telling delights high society. But she cannot ignore the questions that gnaw at her soul: who was her mother? How did she die? And who are the mysterious enemies her father was always terrified would find him?

The pursuit of these mysteries takes her from Cornwall and Bath to London and Devon, from the rough ribaldry of the Bartholomew Fair to the grand houses of two of the most powerful families in England. And while Red’s quest brings her the possibility of great reward, it also leads to grave danger.

“Intricate, haunting, and magical by turns, Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s tale is an absolute immersive read you won’t soon forget” (Patti Callahan Henry, New York Times bestselling author). Ficción Literaria Ficción y Crimen Género Ficción Histórico Misterio Inglaterra Ficción Emocionante

Reseñas de la Crítica

"Wilde wraps listeners in Red’s Dickensian struggle as she searches for her true identity. At first, Red delights members of high society by telling their fortunes, but soon attempts are made upon her life. Why? Wilde ramps up the excitement as secret documents, an uncertain inheritance, murder, lies, double crosses, and betrayal heighten the tension. A well-performed, well-written historical fiction with a satisfying twist."

I rarely leave reviews but this novel demands kudos.
A book of this length usually has some dull areas of filler. Not here. The author kept this readers interest throughout with all of the twists and turns and unexpected revelations. I highly recommend and thank the author.

This is worth listening for 20 hours. Quite a lot of historical detail. Many, many interesting characters, but fairly easy to follow. Several surprises throughout. Recommend.

I thoroughly enjoy this book! At it’s core, it is a deeply layered mystery set in early 18th century England with complicated & intriguing characters, exceptional historical context, and expect & excellent pacing. From the time I picked it up until I finished 3-days later, every unscheduled, non-sleeping I was engrossed in consuming it! I highly recommend it!

Terrific Historical Fiction!
