Finally she ended up in Bristol where she began working full time for the Local Education Authority supporting children experiencing emotional and behvaioural difficulties back into mainstream education. At the same time she was bringing up her two sons as a single parent and studying for a degree at the University of the West of England.

reative arts have been Elizabeth's passion throughout her life, whether visiting galleries, painting or writing. Now she enjoys nothing more than sharing a good, creepy story with others.

Excellent book!!!

Group spamming and what looks like reviewing her own books/referring to her own book as 5* = no way

And let's not even mention the dozens of five star reviews... mainly from authors... who mainly give five star reviews... I may be barking up the wrong tree, but somehow I think not.

I totally understand promotion, but posting as if you're a reader reviewing a book that actually you wrote? Listing it as 5* as though it's someone else's book? And doing this over and over again? Annoying.

For an idea of what I mean, see:

There's probably more, but I've spent enough time on this. I might've read the books. Now I definitely won't.

You'll lose yourself in this!

I really loved this story. I was expecting a fantasy, paranormal unplausible story, as so many of the books in this genre are, but I got totally drawn in by the reality of the plot and the deepness of the characters that I almost forgot I was reading fiction.
Many times I thought I knew where this story was going, only to be surprised by another twist making the trail to find Eleanor more complex.
The insight this author has of human nature, and especially the darker side of it, is captivating in itself. She writes about the goings on in people's minds, whether they are young, old, male or female, and the effects the past and present have on them, with such accuracy and intuitiveness that I could believe she was some kind of psychic herself.
I highly recommend this book and look forward to reading more from this amazing author.

Refreshingly different!
I loved this book! It was a quick fast flowing read. The descriptive writing was beautiful and took me back to my own childhood. There is a thrilling mix between the contemporary world of a group of children and historical events. I also enjoyed the paranormal twist. This book is full of contrasts between happy and dark. A very emotional read that had me gripped. I would highly recommend this book. Not only the book but this author! Well done Ms. Green. I am becoming a true fan!

I thought this book was very well written. It was fascinating following the story of Eleanor and the twins as they grow up and how one incident drastically effects all their lives. I also, felt the trauma of what it must be like when a child goes missing. This author clearly has a deep insight into the lives of young people. The supernatural events and historical back plot added to the sinister feel of this book.
most of all I loved this authors descriptive writing. A good read.
