Description

'An unashamedly escapist page-turner' Daily MailIn an exclusive London restaurant, Julia Lovat is given a gift that will change her life.

The antique book of Jacobean embroidery delights her, but when she looks more closely, she discovers within its faded pages the extraordinary diary of a young Cornish girl, calling to her from across the centuries. On a Sunday morning in July 1625, Barbary pirates sail into a quiet Cornish bay and storm the church.

Their loot: sixty men, women and children, bound for northern Morocco where they will be sold as slaves.

Amongst them is Cat Tregenna, a talented young embroiderer.

But as her diary reveals, Cat is anything but the compliant slave her captors were expecting... Praise for The Tenth Gift: 'An engrossing romance of clashing cultures and wonderful characters' Diana Gabaldon'Beautifully written, first-class escapism' Mail on Sunday'Revivifies the guilty pleasure of historical romance' Independent
