Katherine McMahon

Her father is a favoured courtier of James 1, yet her grandmother is a devout Catholic, causing Isabel Stanhope to lead a double life. Torn between her duty to her father and her own desperate longings, Isabel leaves Jacobean London and travels to war torn Europe.

Mariella and her cousin Rosa are completely different in character although facially you would believe them to be sisters. This story tells of their journeys through the Crimea and relationships. One in particular finds her journey very rewarding. Richard & Judy Bookclub
