From Margate to Key West with Love 'From Margate to Key West with Love,' is a continuation of my previous three historical novels featuring Madam Maria Popoff, her quirky vintage dress shop set in Margate's King Street and Poppy, a middle-aged woman, who relocates from London to Margate.

Some have called her a gypsy who has the power to look through a crystal ball and foretell the future. However, those who know her best of all realize that she's a time traveller or maybe she's an angel. Certainly, she's an ancient being who appears to cross the dimension of time.Maria has seen so much. She's become weary of man's indiscretion, his mistakes [...] Autor: Sally Forrester Wydawnictwo: Booklocker Rok wydania: 2022 Okładka: miękka Liczba stron: 206 Wymiary: 22.9 x 15.2 x 1.1 cm Język: angielski ISBN: 9798885312844
