Cornick tells the story of two different women, centuries apart, at least for now. Alison Bannister spots a painting of a woman who has been identified as Anne Boleyn, but Alison recognizes the woman as Mary Seymour, Katherine Parr’s daughter. Alison knows this for sure because she knew Mary, they were both at Wolf Hall in the 16th century. Alison wants to know what ultimately happened to Mary, and to learn more about her own past life, but gaining that knowledge will prove to be very dangerous. Told in Mary’s voice in the 16th century and Alison’s in the present this is an engrossing story that fans of Susanna Kearsley and Katherine Webb will love
