Guest review by Julie Williams
of
The Silk Merchant’s Daughter
By
Dinah Jefferies
As I have previously read & loved Dinah’s first two
books The Separation & The Tea Planter’s Wife I just had to read this one!
Set in Hanoi Vietnam in 1952, Nicole half French half
Vietnamese, begins to doubt her own allegiances. Who can she trust after all
the things she has seen? With her country’s growing unrest Nicole has some
serious decisions to make.
There are many twists in this story and I found myself as
Nicole did wondering who to trust. All this made for a captivating read that
had me on the edge of my seat desperately hoping for Nicole’s safety & true
happiness.
This book is beautifully written and Dinah has the
incredible talent of bringing this book to life. The Silk Merchant’s Daughter
is a fascinating read that was a pleasure to read.
Special thanks to Stephanie
at Penguin for sending me an advanced proof copy and of course to Julie for
allowing me to share my review on her blog.
I read The Tea Planter's Wife and liked it. Think I'll have to add this one to the TBR as well. Thanks for sharing.
