New York, 1898. The only thing more shocking than Arthur Stanhope III’s unexpected death is the revelation that his will bestows his company—and most of the vast fortune that goes with it—to the nearest male heir, leaving his mother, wife, and daughter nearly impoverished. His widow, Sylvia, quickly realizes she must set aside her grief to ensure their daughter, Adelaide, is launched into society as soon as the appropriate mourning period passes.

Story
The modern audience hasn't had a chance to truly appreciate the unknowing dread that readers would have felt when reading Bram Stoker's original 1897 manuscript. Most modern productions employ campiness or sound effects to try to bring back that gothic tension, but we've tried something different. By returning to Stoker's original storytelling structure - a series of letters and journal entries voiced by Jonathan Harker, Dr. Van Helsing, and other characters - with an all-star cast of narrators, we've sought to recapture its originally intended horror and power.

Narrator Dan Stevens ( Downton Abbey) presents an uncanny performance of Mary Shelley's timeless gothic novel, an epic battle between man and monster at its greatest literary pitch. In trying to create life, the young student Victor Frankenstein unleashes forces beyond his control, setting into motion a long and tragic chain of events that brings Victor to the very brink of madness. How he tries to destroy his creation, as it destroys everything Victor loves, is a powerful story of love, friendship, scientific hubris, and horror.

The Indian subcontinent was the scene of dramatic upheavals a few thousand years ago. The Northwest region entered an arid phase, and erosion coupled with tectonic events played havoc with river courses. One of them disappeared. Celebrated as Sarasvati in the Rig Veda and the Mahabharata, this river was rediscovered in the early 19th century through topographic explorations by British officials. Recently, geological and climatological studies have probed its evolution and disappearance, while satellite imagery has traced the river's buried courses....

Great historical romance
I really enjoyed this book. Such a moving story of sacrificial love, the character growth was strong and I loved that this novel was based in London during WW2. It took a different vantage point of what life may have been like for a refugee there and a man with a disability unable to fight in the war. Not predictable!

Excellent!
I love the way Sarah Sundin builds a wonderful story with characters we love, and teaches us about bits of WWII that aren’t widely known (Anderson Shelters, for one). She plunges us into the midst of the war and makes us feel we are there. Embers in the London Sky is especially good. I loved this story so much!

I appreciate Ms. Sundin's ability to immerse her readers in the World War 2 era. The story was well crafted with a focus on problems that were particularly troubling during WW2 and continue to be debated now.

Great story set in WWII
I’ve previously enjoyed several of the author’s book. I enjoyed this one. The aspect on the evacuation of children in London in 1940 added an interesting element along with Aleida’s personal story. There is also an element of suspense and mystery.
For readers who enjoy historical fiction set during this time period and desire a clean romance, I’d recommend this book,
