Publisher Description

From the author of the New York Times bestseller Firebird comes this richly detailed historical novel of an unconventional tailor’s daughter who is swept up in a suspenseful drama of passion and intrigue.

When a fever leaves her deaf at the age of sixteen, shattering her hopes of marriage, Veda Grenfell turns her exceptional talent to her father’s prestigious Savile Row tailoring firm. She matures into a woman of eye-catching beauty, but it is her indomitable spirit that earns her the admiration of Harry Breadalbane, heir to an earldom. When passion turns to betrayal, Veda abandons her beloved Savile Row and sets off on a treacherous journey into a world of deception, murder and madness.

"My favorite book of the last few months. Great story--I never knew where it was going and was completely enthralled. It wasnt amazing writing but I felt she wrote the romance well. Very clean. Frankly, I can't think of anything I didn't like. 4.5 stars."

— Jessica (4 out of 5 stars)

    " Borrowed from Mary, a good old fashioned story. No real twists or turns... the kind of book you read in h.school english. I liked the story, which seemed epic in its telling. But a bit predictable and hard to get sucked into. "

    " A charming story that has a great deal of unfulfilled potential. The jacket makes the book sound more exciting than it is, like it moves more quickly from exciting event to event, but it reads more like a diary of an uncommon woman during the Victorian period. "
