This sounds like an exciting historical fiction book. I'm curious to see whether sir John will warm up to Joan and fulfil her marital fantasies. Congratulations on making book of the day!

A fascinating historical fiction that is centered on a secret with great consequences. The book sounds quite suspenseful. I wonder what the secret could. I'm looking forward to reading the novel.

This historical fiction novel set in the 1300s definitely sounds like an educational read for those interested in life and times during that time period. Joan seems like a strong female lead. Thanks for the great review!

This is a very nice review and I can't blame Joan for associating with someone she ought not to. Historical romance are one of my favourite, so I will check it out

I love historical fiction, and this book takes place in one of my preferred time/location settings. I’m glad that this isn’t one of those love-at-first-sight kind of books, instead being more realistic in that Joan didn’t even see her future husband before the marriage and then discovered a man who’s cold in distant. Joan’s forbidden friendship with a kitchen maid mentioned in the Amazon summary is also enticing. Thank you for the helpful review.

Joan must have had a lot of expectations before she got married which turned up to be a disappointment, she must have gone through a lot because the husband was stubborn. This is a must read for me. Otherwise congrats on BOTD.

No One Must Know sounds like a great character-driven novel with many twists and turns in the plot. I'm excited to know what Joan and Carac will do to change Sir John's mind.
Thanks for this amazing review. :tiphat:

Historical fiction, with the touch of suspense, seems interesting to me. Generally, I don't like these type of books. But, I will consider this book for reading. Thanks for this review.

This sounds like quite a realistic piece of historical fiction, as well as one that shows the more nuanced details of a woman's life in the 1300s (which isn't too common). Thanks for the review.
