This was such a quirky read abd i just fell in love with the character of Madame Burova.
When she is given two envelopes that she is told to pass on under her own judgement when the time is right she seeks out their recipient, Billie.
Those envelopes open a whole can of worms both for Madame Burova and Billie as they contain information that ultimately affects them both.
Contacting Billie leads to consequences for both.

I absolutely loved this I have never read anything by Ruth Hogan before but this was so refreshing and such a sweet story.
Madame Burova is a fortune teller who wants to retire but she has one last task related to her work she has two envelopes to deliver to someone whose life will be changed forever by their contents.
Billie the recipient is led on a journey into the past to find out the truth of her background but this also helps Madame Burova.
