Historical romances about women engaged in emotional journeys of self-discovery
A sweeping Victorian drama of family and personal struggles, moving between the rich backdrop of working class life in Yorkshire, and London’s cultural scene. The Strangers in Me is an emotional exploration of identity, belonging, and the transforming power of truth and love.

This is the second of Jo's books that I've read and I wasn't disappointed. No spoilers but I constantly kept thinking I'd worked this one out, then realised I'd gone down the wrong path completely! Jo adds her plot twists subtly, her characters are really likeable and her stories flow well. I've just downloaded two more for the darker night ahead!
*****
Loved this for all the wonderfully drawn characters, even though the book is primarily about a young girl who leaves her home for the bright lights. It's packed full of emotion and tangled relationships, just like real life, and has an intriguing plot based on a secret which drives the plot along at a brisk pace and keeps you hooked until the twist ending which I didnt see coming.
Second book by this author Ive read and would highly recommend.

These characters seemed authentic and coming from Yorkshire I really related to the characters. I have enjoyed the series of books.
