My Mom read this book and couldn’t stop talking about it. “It’s the best book I’ve read in ages,” she said. Emily Wilson had everything she could want in her twenties; a handsome and loving husband, a bestselling novel. When she gets older and things are falling apart, she decides to spend time with her great aunt on an island in March. It is there she finds a diary from 1943 that parallels and changes her life.

When Enola Holmes, sister to the detective Sherlock Holmes, discovers her mother has disappeared, she quickly embarks on a journey to London in search of her.

Amid all the mayhem, will Enola be able to decode the necessary clues and find her mother?
