PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
Elizabeth Wein was born in New York, and grew up in England, Jamaica and Pennsylvania. She is married with two children and lives in Perth, Scotland. Elizabeth is a member of the Ninety-Nines, the International Organization of Women Pilots. She was awarded the Scottish Aero Club's Watson Cup for best student pilot in 2003 and it was her love of flying that partly inspired the idea for her internationally acclaimed novel Code Name Verity.
A hugely enjoyable novel with an intriguing, page-turning plot * Guardian * A romantic and acutely observed historical mystery * Metro * I defy anybody to be disappointed in a book by Elizabeth Wein. She's both a subtle and an expansive writer and she draws you in with great skill … The Pearl Thief is a pleasure to read, it really is * Bookbag * A highly charged, atmospheric novel with a masterful heroine and plenty of intrigue and mystery * Parents in Touch * I just finished The Pearl Thief, by Elizabeth Wein. Felt like both a warm bath on a cold night, and camping in spooky woods. A total treat -- Melinda Salisbury
