Jude is sent to a location close to family to value items belonging to a generation of astronomers. Jude gets this call through happenstance and the story kicks off the moment she sets foot on location, changing her life forever. The story switches between Jude and Esther so over time, the mystery meets after 230 years and all is explained. The back and forth is structured clearly and due to this structure, nothing is skipped or missed. The story follows Jude and readers uncover the mysteries alongside the protagonist. The book is written and perceived - personally - as if readers can watch the events unfold directly beside Jude as she recounts the story in past tense. Events that take place are quite supernatural and yet almost a representation of trauma passed down through generations until Jude resolves the mystery. The romance is soft and not at all overbearing. There are great family dynamics and life goes on while Jude carries out her job. A complex storyline, beginning when Jude has a recurrent dream which, oddly, is shared by her young niece. She goes to examine and value a collection of books about astronomy, becomes embroiled in the lives of the family she meets, and sets off a surprising series of events. Nicely written with fascinating forays into the past which came across as authentically done. Some suspense, and low-key romance, as well as good family relationships and believable people. The plot-line did contain far too many coincidences, a few of which were so far-fetched I had to take a deep breath to swallow them. But still, suspending reality isn't necessarily a problem in fiction, and the novel was primarily character-based - so, all in all, I enjoyed it
