Uncovering secrets that span generations, Rachel Hore delivers intriguing, involving and emotive narrative reading group fiction like few other writers can.<\/b><\/p>\n

Nancy Foster has harboured a devastating secret that shattered her professional and personal life. On meeting her, journalist Stef Lansdown realizes that she has the power to restore Nancy\u2019s reputation and to heal the wounds, if only Nancy will trust her. But someone else wants to get to the bottom of the story first, someone who doesn\u2019t want it to be told.<\/span><\/p>\n

Set in the beautiful environs of the Norfolk Broads in 2010, and in London in the ’40s and \u201850s, when life for career-driven women was so different,\u00a0<\/span>The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge<\/i>\u00a0is\u00a0<\/span>Sunday Times<\/i>\u00a0multi-million copy bestselling author Rachel Hore\u2019s utterly compelling new novel, interweaving the past and the present.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge was a real treat of a read for me. I love well researched historical fiction which is grounded, intriguing and leaves me with lots to think about at the end. Luckily for me I always can reply on Rachel for exactly sort of read.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Secrets of Dragonfly Lodge splits between two narratives. The present day following the story of Steff a journalist who meets Nancy whilst staying with her mother in Norfolk. She is intrigued by the lady she meets and soon realises that her story is one that needs to be told. I loved the setting and seeing the relationship develop between these two women over the course of the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0Nancy’s story set in the 40s and 50s is the the second narrative and gives you a real glimpse into the society that Nancy lived in. I really enjoyed her story and seeing how much she had to fight against to be allowed to even go to University but then to carry on an academic path after graduating rather than pursing a more traditional role that women were just expected to follow at the time.<\/span><\/p>\n

For me Nancy’s story really shows how far we’ve come as a society in terms of equality between genders and whilst it is far from perfect the freedom that women have now was earned by women like Nancy who were brave enough to step outside the norm and ignore societal expectations to go for the dreams they had for themselves.<\/span><\/p>\n
