  • The Flight of Gemma Hardy

    Margot Livesey

    Old-fashioned story-telling in the best sense. Combining aspects of Cinderella, Jane Eyre, and her very own self, Gemma Hardy is a heroine you won’t forget as she forges her way in the modern world. Grab a blanket, make a mug of tea, and settle in for a delicious read.
