Liked the plot as it switched between past and present. A solid effort by the author.

The plot of this book is so reminiscent of A.S. Byatt's wonderful book Possession that I couldn't help but compare the two all the way through. Byatt wins hands down

I enjoy Lauren Willig's books, especially the Pink Carnation series. This book falls a bit flat and the characters really failed to spark any connection for me. The author admits she had problems with this book in the acknowledgements. …

The book jumps between 2009 and 1849 and the readers are treated to two sweet love stories. The ending was a little rushed. There were some loose ends that I would have liked to see tied up. Overall, a great read!

I loved everything about this novel. Each of the dual time frames had interesting plots and characters. I've always been fascinated by the pre-Raphaelite period and artists. It was a perfect summer read.

A fun dual-narrative Gothic novel full of romance, an old house, art history, family secrets, and a mystery to solve. Bonus: an ending that ties up most of the loose ends yet allows the reader to draw some of their own conclusions. I love…

Lacks the magic of her PINK CARNATION series.

I enjoyed learning about the pre-Raphaelite movement. After reading the book, I looked up some of the painters in old art history books, and I will go look at what the Art Institute has.

I enjoyed the ins and outs of this charming novel as the family skeletons emerged from the closet .A light, intelligent, stylish read.
