About "Bellewether"

"Bellewether is a perfect blend of historical and modern, of romance and intrigue, and just the right touch of magical realism. Susannah Kearsley’s lyrical and elegant writing will pull you into the world of Millbank, Long Island.

The story alternates between the modern-day curator who is working to piece together the history of the Wilde Family and with Lydia Wilde whose family is forced to house two French Officers during the Seven Years’ War.

Overtime Lydia’s hate turns to love but with war waging and wounds that cannot be healed, the future is uncertain."

Reviewed for you here by librarian Jennie R. Publication date is set as August 7, 2018.

    Bel canto is one of my all time favorites. It’s love and a hostage situation- not war. But still 🙂
