Subject: The Winter Sea by Susanna Kearsley

Sometimes you know as soon as you pick up a book that you are going to love it, and that is what happened with this book. I had't read anything by this author before, but now I am trying to track down some more of her books.

A novelist feels drawn toward Slains Castle in Scotland. She is writing a novel about one of the earlier Jacobite attempts (in 1708) to regain the throne for the Stewarts, but as she starts researching the novel she finds more than she bargained for as she begins to see the events through the eyes of her main character.

With parallel contemporary and historical threads and a really easy to read writing style, this is going to be one of my few 5/5 reads for this year.

It should be noted that this book is also being published under the title Sophia's Secret.
