Rezensionen
"This lucidly-written book ostensibly concerns, and resolves, the mystery of Grace Oakeshott's faked suicide in 1907 when she appeared to have drowned off the coast of Brittany. ... The author has written a readable and informative book which will appeal to those interested in local and social history as well as in, this often intriguing, biography." (Brian Lancaster, CHNSS Bulletin, Vol. 157, September, 2016)
