Bellewether by Susanna Kearsley
Pub. Date: August 7, 2018
Goodreads says, "It's late summer, war is raging, and families are torn apart by divided loyalties and deadly secrets. In this complex and dangerous time, a young French Canadian lieutenant is captured and billeted with a Long Island family, an unwilling and unwelcome guest. As he begins to pitch in with the never-ending household tasks and farm chores, Jean-Philippe de Sabran finds himself drawn to the daughter of the house. Slowly, Lydia Wilde comes to lean on Jean-Philippe, true soldier and gentleman, until their lives become inextricably intertwined. Legend has it that the forbidden love between Jean-Philippe and Lydia ended tragically, but centuries later, the clues they left behind slowly unveil the true story. Part history, part romance, and all kinds of magic, Susanna Kearsley's latest masterpiece will draw you in and never let you go, even long after you've closed the last page."
I have really enjoyed Kearsley's novels in the past and can't wait to dive into this one. I love how she combines history, romance, and usually some sort of fantasy, like time-slip, etc. I look forward reading her latest. What do you guys think?
What a gorgeous cover and it does sound like such an amazing read too.
