This was the first Barbara Erskin book I read and since then have gone through everything she's written as quickly as I could. Her stories always sets the scene so clearly in my mind that I can't put it down for days! This would have to be my favourite book from Barbara Erskine, then it would be Child of the Phoenix and Lady of Hay. Someone wrote something about Diana Gababaldons book being just as wonderfull as this is and I have to agree 100%, also Virginia Andrews 'Heaven' series is a book to read if you want to get the same sort of quality in the writing and storyline.
