"My father had clearly explained it to me: choice was a luxury I could not afford. This is your story, Red. You must tell it well..."
Red, a young woman known only by her nickname, is the daughter of a Cornish fortune-teller. Together, they traveled, earning a living by predicting fortunes using the ancient method known as the Square of Sevens. However, when her father unexpectedly passes away, Red finds herself under the care of a gentleman scholar.
Raised as a lady in the elegant surroundings of Bath during the Georgian era, Red's fortune-telling skills captivate high society. Yet, she is haunted by unanswered questions about her past. Who was her mother? How did she die? And who were the mysterious enemies that her father feared?
As Red embarks on a journey to uncover these mysteries, she travels from Cornwall to Bath, London, and Devon, encountering both the rough Bartholomew Fair and the grand estates of powerful English families. While the pursuit of answers offers the promise of great reward, it also exposes her to grave danger.
Laura Shepherd-Robinson's novel, "The Square of Sevens," is a sweeping epic set in Georgian high society. This dazzling story is filled with mystery, intrigue, heartbreak, and audacious twists, making it a captivating read for those who enjoy historical fiction.
