Good story about Jude, an expert in old books who goes out to Norfolk to assess the value of a collection held by a family whose ancestor was an amateur astronomer. She discovers mysteries, some with connections to her own family who live in the area. Description of her research and discovery is alternated with excerpts from journals and narrative from the past. A touch of the supernatural (just speculation really), a little romance and just really nice, likeable characters make this a very enjoyable read. Unfortunately this is Hore’s only book that’s been published in the US so far. I’m hoping for more.
