Book Reviews
[R]iveting historical fiction that illuminates love so strong that it transcends decades.
Boston Globe


Annabelle, Stefan and Johann are a complicated and compelling love triangle. In this romantic adventure, Williams gives even the Nazi a measure of humanity. Curl up in your comfy chair and leave your doubts behind. Pepper and Annabelle are fabulous babes to spend time with on a cold winter night.
USA Today


Similar to the author’s other page-turners, there is a parallel story here about another young woman...whose life in 1935 is upended when her Jewish lover disappears.... Though Williams tries to give both narratives nearly equal weight, Annabelle’s distinctive character and story are far stronger than Pepper’s. Nonetheless, the happy ending will surely satisfy the bestselling author’s many fans.
Publishers Weekly


With spunky characters full of grace and grit... The swift pacing and emotional twists and turns of the plot will leave readers guessing up to the final pages. Recommended for readers who enjoyed the atmosphere and characters of Jess Walter’s Beautiful Ruins.
Library Journal


(Starred review.) With the killer charm of a Rodgers and Hammerstein score and a touch of du Maurier intrigue, Williams' latest sexy and enthralling period drama (on the high heels of Tiny Little Thing) draws readers into the parallel, luxe worlds of two sparky women in the post-Camelot 1960s (a Best Book of the Year).
