Nicola Marter was born with a gift: when she touches an object, she sometimes glimpses those who have owned it before. When the gallery she works in receives a wooden carving she can see the object’s history and knows that it was named after the Firebird, the mythical bird that inspires an old Russian fairytale and was once owned by Russia’s famed Empress Catherine.
Nicola’s investigation into the Firebird’s origin draws her into the 1715 world of Anna Logan and leads her on a quest through Scotland, France and Russia, unearthing a tale of love and sacrifice, of courage and redemption
I just finished reading The Winter Sea which is another instalment in the Slains series and loved it. I also read The Rose Garden by this author and I loved that one too. Now I want to have and read all her books.

ReplyCiska, I love Susanna Kearsley's books! I bought a copy of The Firebird when it came out in June (in the US), but unfortunately haven't had a chance to read it yet. Have you read The Shadowy Horses yet? I think you need to read that one as background before The Firebird, from what I've heard. (I also loved The Rose Garden and Mariana!)
