Muted Veil by Elizabeth Hamilton-SmythMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Muted Veil by Elizabeth Hamilton-Smyth is a beautifully written book, and Smyth is an author to watch. The story is intriguing right from the start as the main character Frances has a ton of issues, surveillance paranoia being at the top of her list. When she is further diagnosed with Meniere’s disease, she makes the decision to escape the overly watched England, and moves to France. A hefty inheritance helps her in that endeavor, and we feel as readers that she is on the right track to find some serenity in her life. But all is not as it seems, as the house she buys has secrets of it's own. The quality of the writing flows so well, and is so melodious, that you might forget the author is crafting a substantial plot. Unnerving, yet with a message that resonates on many levels, this novel is highly recommended. Looking forward to more from this author.
