Overview

1811: As Britain stands on the brink of great change, Mina is far from home. Stolen and put to dangerous work, she longs to return to her family and farm. Instead, when one of her friends is killed, Mina finds herself risking everything on a perilous journey that will see her change the shape of history. Two centuries later, Evie, daughter of legendary stars, has rejected fame for a secluded life in London. When her father is rushed to hospital in Australia, she must race to Sydney, for a goodbye she was not able to have with her mother, and to understand the secret that has haunted father and daughter, driving them 10,000 miles apart. Cutting through the narratives is Grey, a shadowy figure who watches and waits. Has he found in Evie what he lost in Mina all those years ago? What he knows for certain is that the stakes could not be higher.

'So powerful! I whizzed through The Memory of Blood in two days. Made me cry. Twice.' 'The Memory of Blood is SO good. And that ending! I did not see that ending coming. I'm still in recovery. I really loved this book. This is a blockbuster. It's going to be a smash.' 'Oh my goodness. Devouring this book. Within a couple of pages, I felt like I was in a different world. I just rush-showered to sneak in a couple more pages. Update. I'm finished. I'm just blown away. Wow.' 'I read a lot, but I've never read anything like The Memory of Blood. Was hooked by page four. The writing is beautiful and it was a great resolution, but Mina, Evie, Alden, Harry! ARGH! These characters are with me for keeps.' 'Wow!!! I totally loved the book, the pacing especially and how the story unfolded. It was very moving. A unique story.' 'LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH. The writing is stunning, but the story runs like a thriller. I stayed up late needing to know how Mina and Evie are connected. And Grey! WTF! Who is he?! WHAT is he? I'd recommend this book to anyone, it's going to be a worldwide smash. So unique.' 'Flawless book that gripped me from page 1. The Memory of Blood is a page-turner. Unputdownable. Wonderful writing, perfectly paced, vivid descriptions. Some images will stay with me for a long time. It is too soon for asking for a cinematographic adaptation?' 'This is my book of the year. A hundred stars!' 'There's something special about books that connect different time periods, and this is one of the best I've read. Life-affirming and beautiful, but what a page-turner.' 'The writing is incredible. The characters are real. It's exciting to switch between Mina in 19th-century England and Evie in showbiz Sydney...'

Devoured it in a few sittings' 'Rich and atmospheric'  'Somewhere between Maggie O'Farrell's Hamnet, Kate Atkinson's Life After Life, Charles Dickens and the addictive pen of Taylor Jenkins Reid.
