Rezensionen
'Wonderfully escapist with beautifully drawn characters, stunning locations and an unashamedly romantic heart, The Golden Hour is a captivating story of female friendship, devastating tragedy and a long-buried secret coming into the light. If you love books by Dinah Jefferies or Santa Montefiore, you'll adore Kate Lord Brown's The Golden Hour' Hannah Richell

'A Kate Lord Brown novel is always a treat, and I think THE GOLDEN HOUR is her best yet, with its sumptuous combination of love, war and intrigue and its gorgeously exotic setting. Kate's knowledge and understanding of North African and Middle Eastern life and culture shines out of every sentence, and Polly and Juno make a pair of fictional friends for the ages' Jane Johnson

'An exquisite story of love and the enduring power of friendship. Kate Lord Brown's writing is so evocative and immersive that I felt transported to faraway shores and stood beside her characters sharing their experiences rather than simply reading about them. The Golden Hour is pure gold' Ruth Hogan

'Kate paints such beautiful pictures with her words, you feel as if you are right there, in the heat and the dust. Epic, sweeping and gloriously romantic, this is the kind of book we have all been longing for, with all the ingredients of a classic page-turner - exotic locations, intrepid women and thrilling adventure. An absolute delight' Veronica Henry

'Headily romantic, richly detailed, with marvellous characters and a vividly stirring landscape both geographical and historical, The Golden Hour offers escapism of the most elegantly seductive sort' Christobel Kent…mehr
