About the author

Michelle got her start writing in a radio newsroom, but it wasn't until she lived in London completing her master's degree in print and online journalism that she decided to write a novel. A fan of Georgette Heyer and the Regency era, she wondered what life would really be like for a modern-day woman residing in Jane Austen's London. The Hour of Separation is the outcome of that curiosity.

Won on Goodreads

If you are looking for a quick read, skip this one. But if you are up for the challenge this is a wonderful book. There is a graceful transition between past and present. Although the trilogy of love between best friends is a little thirsty. I was not thrilled with the ending. I mean, I loved the ending. It was how it was supposed to be, but maybe a little to wordy. End with a sweet kiss.

Intriguing story with twists

I enjoyed the characterization of both major and minor characters, and kept wanting to know what would happen next! An engrossing story.
