Reviews

"A Thread of Secrets is a poignant and emotional story of Grace, a young English woman of Irish descent, who has to endure the trials of an unhappy marriage and family secrets amidst the difficult time of the WW2 and Indian independence movement. The turns of events throw Grace from one path to another as she seeks the truths that are only revealed at the very end. The ending is ultimately touching and heart-warming. I enjoyed reading the story. It left me wanting to read more, to learn what happens next. The writing is beautiful and easy to read. I found some resemblance with the Secret Garden in terms of the settings: from verandahs and lavish living of the Raj in India to English mansions with beautiful gardens (and secrets). The story of Grace's marriage and love life reminded me a little of The Duchess. If you love stories like these two, you will most likely enjoy reading A Thread of Secrets." Lana Taylor, Ireland
