The Secret Wife
When we talked with author Jennifer Robson for the Modern Mrs. Darcy Book Club, she recommended Gill Paul as a talented writer who is well known in the UK, but who should be better known here in the States. I've got several of hers on my shelves, but I've never read any. Now they're on my TBR. From the publisher: "A Russian grand duchess and an English journalist. Linked by one of the world’s greatest mysteries . . . 1914. Russia is on the brink of collapse, and Grand Duchess Tatiana has fallen in love with cavalry officer Dmitri, but events take a catastrophic turn, placing their romance – and their lives – in danger. 2016. Kitty Fisher escapes to her great-grandfather's remote cabin in America, after a devastating revelation makes her flee London. There she discovers the spectacular jewelled pendant that will lead her to a family secret."
