London, 1910. A cruel twist of fate means Daisy must give up the job she loves – painting for a theatre company – and move to Devon. Only the silver bangle she wears on her wrist brings comfort, reminding her of a young man who once promised her his heart.

In Devon, life is very different. Lodging with her uncle at his busy tavern, Daisy must forget her painting and scrub and serve food for her keep. But forget her art? Daisy can’t altogether, so when her uncle catches her sketching, he is furious and forbids her to draw.

But a chance meeting with two travelling artists offers Daisy a different path, and summoning her courage, Daisy runs away with them to Lamorna, Cornwall, home to a famous group of bohemian artists….
Our Editor, Margaret Graham knows Lamorna well, and all that she tells me fits in completely with Linda Finlay’s  evocative portrayal of that world. Add to that the fact that  I am a west country girl through and through,  is it any wonder that Finlay, who has been dubbed the Queen of West Country Saga, is just up my street.

I adore her work. It’s not every day a reviewer has her two loves combined, as I have, in each Linda Finlay work.

Each novel is exceptional in its own right. In The Girl With The Silver Bangle  Finlay once again provides us with  a historical romance set in a setting, so genuine that you feel as though you are there.

To me, that is what puts Linda Finlay a shelf above the rest, her authenticity to settings, characters and story. The Girl With The Silver Bangle is nothing short of sensational. So if you are looking to live in the world of a beautiful young artist who experiences heartbreak, uncertainty but above all else- hope, then you need to look no further.

Just read The Girl With The Silver Bangle,and  whether this is the first book by Finlay that you read or if you are an old hand,  I promise you will not be disappointed.
