If family saga's and dual time novels are your thing, you'd be hard pushed to find a more enjoyable one than Unspoken. It's got drama, love, intrigue, revenge and secrets I always enjoy a saga story but this one, really got me. The historical section in Alice's younger years was so vibrantly described amd in such a realistic way, I was swept away in that time. Minutes turned to hours and I didn't even notice.An unputdownable book from the first chapter straight through to the final one. If you love books with a little history, romance and family ties, you'll love this one! I actually read the whole book in one day. Each time I was about to put it down I saw another chapter about one of the characters and I though 'just one more bit' until I realised it was one in the morning and I was almost finished. Just had to get to the end.
