The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova by Ruth Hogan
4.0
I really enjoyed this dual timeline story featuring Imelda Burova, a Romany fortune teller who has learned her trade from the generations of women before her and the younger woman whose fate has been tied to hers for years.
In the present Billie has just gotten divorced, lost her job and her parents. A mysterious inheritance brings her to Madame Burova, who holds the key to the secret of her origins. Together the two women dig into the past. Billie in the hopes of learning out more about her birth parents and Madame Burova revisiting that fateful summer where she met the greatest love of her life!
Highly recommend this transporting historical fiction tale about the men and women who worked at a holiday camp along the Brighton Pier in the 1970s. Full of secrets, love and a colorful cast of characters this is a memorable and moving story I didn't want to end! Much thanks to Libro.fm for my ALC!! Perfect for fans of The one hundred years of Lenni and Margot.
