Description
A Desperate Fortune by Susanna Kearsley is a riveting historical fiction novel that weaves together two women's stories across centuries. Amateur codebreaker Sara Thomas travels to Paris in search of answers, while Mary Dundas, a Jacobite exile, embarks on a path of rebellion and betrayal. As their paths converge, they must confront the limits of trust and the unlikely coincidences of fate. Their tales are intertwined by a cryptic journal that has kept its secrets for nearly three hundred years. As Sara delves deeper into the cipher, she faces events in her own life that challenge everything she thought she knew about herself and those around her. Meanwhile, Mary's story reveals a gripping tale of longing and adventure. Through their stories, Kearsley explores themes of loyalty, love, and the power of fate to shape our lives. With its rich historical context and well-developed characters, this novel is sure to appeal to readers who enjoy historical fiction with a strong emotional core.
