It happens more and more lately to fnd myself immersed in historical novels, Either focused on famous characters or eventful timelines, or both, those time travels do offer me right now the right comfort and refuge.
The Evacuee´s Secret by Deborah Klée´s was my fourth book with a historical touch this week, and one of the books I´ve read in one day.
Louise Pearson has to leave her Yorkshire village on the brink of tumultous events. But she left behind a terrible secret that will haunt her few years later, as she returns after a failed marriage. She may get a secret identity, but her past is there and is about to influence the rest of her life, especially her love life.
This book does not have a fast pace, but has a soothing effect on the reader. I liked how her secret remains so persistent in her life, as most secrets usually do. The ambiance of the village is very well described, allowing the reader to easily imagine the details of the daily life and the inhabitants´ personalities. Small places often do have a strong unique identity and this is clearly true about this cozy Yorkshire village.
The Evacuee´s Secret is a book for books built around everyday people living in off the radar place, nevertheless worth a mention in the history of times.
Rating: 3.5 stars
