So excited to start reading this - and a signed copy, too!
#TBRtemptation post! What an interesting cover, and an interesting premise too. Piet & his wife have lived in 1910s South Africa posing as a wealthy French aristocrat & American railroad heiress. But they're far from French & rich. His charm is about to run out, so they attempt to begin a furniture business. The thing is, the wood comes from a sacred forbidden forest in the Xhosa's lands. How does one steal a forest? #blameLitsy #blameMrBook 😎
Pretty fing awesome. Richard Mason rigorously researched the history behind this novel, and does a tremendous job of getting inside his characters' heads to show the evolution of their thinking and how it affects their actions.
