'Oh my word... fantastic... [The] stories intertwine so
beautifully, it's truly amazing. Such a lot of research must have
to have been done but so worth it. I can't recommend this book
enough.' NetGalley reviewer Could a rediscovered map show her the
way? Present day: When thirty-six-year-old Robyn Willoughby
discovers an exquisite yet blood-stained Tudor map in her father's
antique map shop, desperate for a distraction from her problems,
she decides to investigate. But as Robyn delves into the mystery,
she finds herself caught up in a centuries-old secret - one that
will change her life forever. 1569: Forced to flee Holland to
escape persecution, twenty-year-old Freida Ortelius uses her
mapmaking skills to start anew in London. Soon her rare talent
catches the eye of Queen Elizabeth, who demands Freida's help in
fighting the Spanish threat. Freida must now embark on a deadly
mission, the consequences of which will echo down the ages... A
sweeping and heartbreaking read, perfect for fans of Lucinda Riley
and Kathryn Hughes. Readers adore The Mapmaker's Daughter: 'Loved
this... the characters were brilliant and the storyline was
amazing, wonderfully written and descriptive, could not put it
down.' NetGalley reviewer 'This book has it all: history, intrigue,
suspense, mystery, and a gripping narrative that kept me engaged
from beginning to end.' NetGalley reviewer 'Loved this book!...
Great characters and story that intertwined. Highly recommended.'
NetGalley reviewer 'A joy to read... I loved the characters and the
way the plot of both times weaved and intwined... Excellent.'
NetGalley reviewer 'Fascinating! I would recommend this book to all
lovers of historical fiction without hesitation.' NetGalley
