"...you have a chance, here on this earth, to make a life that is about love. Not some grand, romantic love, but the kind of love that encompasses everything, that makes a person joyful, and generous, and brave."
"The Moonlit Maze" by Zoe Marriott

Dual timeline enchanting story set in a small seaside village. It's so hard to describe this book without spoilers but authors choice of words used along with mesmerising style literally transports you to beautiful castle and gardens in 1924 giving you a peek into a lavish and entitled lifestyle. We are a witness of first love, grief, violence, and so much more... In the other timeline we meet a young girl who is on the verge of giving up as nothing goes as planned until one letter arrives...
Both timelines blend very well and once we realise what they have in common the story becomes more magical than ever.. Then there is the ending, the last chapter that it makes it even more beautiful
I feel very lucky to be chosen by Netgalley and Headline as one of the first recipients of early copy. I'm definitely going to get a printed version of it once it hits the shelves in JUNE 2025..

Just WOW!

Set in the windswept Yorkshire village of Winterthorne in 1924, a young woman slips away from a glittering ball at Kearsley Castle , She is set to meet someone in the maze and what happens next changes the history of the castle. By the morning, the grand house is in ashes, two bodies have been removed, and the events of that night swiftly covered up. Fast forward to 2024 and the ruined castle is rediscovered and past and present collide.

I loved loved loved this book. It's is beautifully written and tells of betrayal, a forbidden love affair and of course secrets.

I was intrigued and captivatedby this novel and found it hard to put down. I so wanted to get to the end to see what happened and of course it did not disappoint.

It's a wonderful read..
