The Fallen Woman
Fiona McIntosh
Reviewed by Helen
This is another awesome story from fabulous story teller Fiona McIntosh, a story of love and romance but with heartache entwined throughout, come along and meet the wonderful characters and feel their emotions, this one is set in the early 1900’s and is a brilliant read.
Jane Saville is a botanical artist who was very close to her father, but he has passed now and when her scheming mother and sister come up with a plan to save her older sister, Charlotte and the family name from ruin, Jane is sent to the country here, soon she is happy with her adoptive family in Salisbury although life is not always easy with her unwarranted reputation.
Guy Attwood, comes from a wealthy family but his true love is apples. Yes he searches for rare apples and works with Kew Gardens, at the moment he is searching for a very rare apple that he hopes to find and present to the new King George V on his coronation.
When Jane and Guy meet unexpectedly with the help of a little boy Harry, their lives will change, Jane has never felt this way before but soon Jane’s family returns to cause lots of problems, jealousy and nastiness pull them apart, but Jane is determined that she will stand up to whatever is thrown her way and put her life back in order.
I loved this one from start to finish, I loved Guy and Jane they both showed strength and character when their worlds are torn apart but neither gave up and Harry oh what a fabulous character, this one is set in the most beautiful of settings, it is heart-wrenching and heart-warming at the same time and I do highly recommend, I am a big fan of MS McIntosh’s stories she never disappoints.
My thanks to Penguin Random House and Netgalley for my copy to read and review.
