A moving and gripping story about three women who keep unspeakable truths, from the Richard & Judy recommended bestselling author Julie Cohen.

Viola has an impossible talent. Searching for meaning in her grief, she uses her photography to feel closer to her late father, taking solace from the skills he taught her - and to keep her distance from her husband. But her pictures seem to capture things invisible to the eye . . .

Henriette is a celebrated spirit medium, carrying nothing but her secrets with her as she travels the country. When she meets Viola, a powerful connection is sparked between them - but Victorian society is no place for reckless women.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the world, invisible threads join Viola and Henriette to another woman who lives in secrecy, hiding her dangerous act of rebellion in plain sight.

Faith. Courage. Love. What will they risk for freedom?

This is a new author for me. I chose the book at random as it was on sale for 99p and the blurb intrigued me. I've read and enjoyed other books that deal with the same subjects and Spirited sounded like something I'd enjoy. I had a great time with this book. Viola is a great character and I really emphasised with her, grieving for her father, stuck in a loveless marriage and suddenly finding herself with a seemingly strange gift. I was hooked from start to finish. I really enjoyed this.
