London, 1927: One house. Three lives. A decision that will change
everything. A powerful, unique timeslip story, perfect for fans of The
Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, The Miniaturist, and Lucinda Riley. On
the morning of Friday 5th August, 1927, Miss Agnes Humphries – the
landlady of the attractive, if-slightly-shabby, white-fronted
townhouse at Number 23 Burlington Square – has a decision to make.
The rooms of the second floor lie empty, since poor Mr Blandford’s
unfortunate demise, God rest his soul. And Agnes must make up her mind
as to who will be her new lodger… Will it be her spirited, young
niece Clara, who drifts through the glamorous world of London’s
Bright Young Things? Or Stephen, the sensible, church-going,
respectable banker who seems just be too good to be true? Or the timid
war widow named Mercy, who is clearly running from something – or
someone…? Agnes must choose between them. But what will her decision
lead to? One of the choices could result in scandal, one in
devastation, and one could even lead to happiness. If only she gets it
right… As all three lodgers enter Number 23, in alternate timelines,
relationships are formed and destroyed, feathers are ruffled, and
secrets are exposed. Three different choices. Three very different
paths. And Agnes is to discover that nobody – including herself –
is quite who they seem… Readers are loving No. 23 Burlington Square:
