I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own. The Hidden Palance focuses more on 1 of those 3 sisters and how she tries to move on after the end of the war. However, her efforts are diverted when her estranged mother requests that she try to find her long lost aunt.

Dinah Jefferies created a unique yet captivating drama of deception, jealousy, guilt, and a fateful decision that will impact the lives of Gwendolyn and her husband and everyone around them. Additionally, all the characters in the story are well drawn, especially the heroine, who matures fast and finds her inner strength. The book explores some serious themes of British colonialism, racism, and the working conditions of the time. Our servers are getting hit pretty hard right now.

The latest book in the Lincoln Lawyer series comes out this month. This will be the 7th book in that series, and the 41st book in the Bosch Universe. Harry Bosch also plays a big part in this book. Any issues with the book list you are seeing? Or is there an author or series we don’t have? Let me know! What I enjoyed about this story is the interesting setting that is probably very different than what I've read before in a WW2 Historical Fiction novel. This novel focused on Florence rather than all three of the sisters, as did Book One, Daughters of War. And in spite of the fact that I LOVED Book One, The Hidden Palace is even better.

Sweeping and sumptuous with a gorgeously described sense of place. A marvellous adventure”—TRACY REES The story tells us in great detail what a dangerous place Malta was in the 1920s, when criminals ran prostitute rings of young women brought in from other countries. Rosalie, or Riva as she now called herself, made friends with some important people but she wasn’t afraid to fight for the rights of the young women. Her romance with a member of the British aristocracy seems doomed to failure but he introduces her to the stunning palace his uncle owned in Mdina.Over time, Gwen was able to adapt to a life on a tea plantation with Verity, Laurence’s sister ever on her side. Gwen never seemed comforting to Verity even when Verity had a clinging habit with her brother. And soon some strange things began happening- a grave was discovered in bushes near the house, a car trunk full of musty old clothing and a nearby waterfall where Gwen was never allowed to visit. But besides all these, the worst was that Laurence would never allow any questions by Gwen about his previous wife, Caroline. What dark secrets did Lawrence keep that he never wanted to share with Gwen or anyone else?
