About the Author

Susanna Kearsley

I'm a former museum curator, avid amateur genealogist, and writer of modern gothic novels that interweave contemporary suspense and romance with historical adventure, meaning they don't fit neatly into any category and are therefore a marketer's nightmare.The Bookseller once said of me, in a review, "She has a poetic sensibility and a sense of mystery; she could write the modern Rebecca."So that's what I strive for.
