#HidingFromTheLight #BarbaraErskine

This is my first Barbara Erskine novel. It is a story about Emma Dickson who is drawn to a cottage in the woods and decides to move there alone. Piers is living in London and because of his job does not want a long commute. The cottage is haunted by Liza, the herbalist. Emma turns to the rector for help but he is in the grip of something inexplicable and dangerous.

EadieB This was a story of good versus evil and races to a heart-stepping climax. I enjoyed the story very much and will now be looking to read other Erskine books. They are a great escape from mystery books that I normally read. If you enjoy books about ghosts and witches then you will love this book. 2y
Tove_Reads Ah, you liked it, good! I thought it was awful. Definitely not for me. 2y
EadieB @Tove_Reads That‘s funny! 2y
Andrew65 I‘ve only just managed to start this although did read it about 15 or so years ago. I wouldn‘t say it was my favourite of hers from memory. Much prefer Lady of Hay, Kingdom of Shadows and Child of the Phoenix. @Tove_Reads
Those have more of a historical dimension.

I‘ve put the #ChunksterReads2023 into a Randomizer based on the six books chosen @Tove_Reads and @EadieB, and this is the order for reading them in 2023.

Happy to have others joining us for any of the reads if you want to and will be discussing the books during the month as well.

If you want to join in with any or all of these #ChunksterReads2023 just comment below and we will tag you as they approach.
