Though separated by one hundred and twenty years, two strangers need each other. Their worlds collide in Carissima, a beautiful old house in County Monaghan, Ireland, when mysterious events begin to unfold. All Martha wanted was to be with Edward.

When photographer Juliet flies off for a holiday in Florence, she doesn’t realise she will be sharing an apartment with a distractingly gorgeous stranger, Happily indulging in a little holiday romance with Logan Persaw, before returning to her life in London, is just what she needs. She certainly has no intention of uprooting and following him back to an old house in Ireland where she has to fight for their love. There, Juliet comes to realise that the mysteries within Carissima can lead her to the fulfilment she craves – if she can just manage to bridge time and unlock them...

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Beautifully written By magsRmcg Just finished reading this novel. Beautiful story.I particularly loved the themes between past and present. I could emphatise with Martha and Juliet very easily.The past story had a feel of pride and prejudice about it ( I watched the series on netflix a few days ago so very fresh in my mind... studied at school too)I liked the parallels to what was happening in the present day. Beautifully written, I was transported to another time and place. I am looking forward to more titles by this author.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Dual time historical fiction. Really liked the 1800s storyline. By bleachhouselibrary 3.5 starsJuliet is house sitting in Italy and is more than a little surprised when she encounters a strange man in the apartment. Logan is actually the owners son and, when the shock wears off, the two find their attraction is mutual. A brisk holiday romance with picnics and day trips leads to a declaration of love and an invite to an ancestral home in Ireland, the 1800s Carissima, built by Lorcan's Great-Great-Grandfather. Juliet is not eager to visit Ireland (presuming she will have to move there permanently), preferring the fast paced life of London and she wonders if her relationship with Lorcan is worth the effort.Meanwhile, the history of Carissima and its original residents, come to light with the discovery of a diary in the library of the house. Martha, a governess, was passionately in love with Edward but was brought to Ireland during their courtship, with him remaining in England to secure their financial future. Their story interwoven with the one of Juliet and Lorcan, and Carissima becomes the link.This is Maria Murphy's debut novel and taking on 120 years of historical fiction is no mean feat. The reader gets a quick glimpse of modern times in the one page prologue and is then whisked back in time to Berkshire, England, 1888 and the world of Martha and Edward. The Pershaw family have taken her under their wing but the agreement is one they seem to benefit from, as they gain a full time governess for their young daughter Beatrice. When the young doctor is called to the house to attend to Beatrice's fever, Martha is smitten. Edward is also in awe, and within days they declare their love for each other. Similarly, in 2010, Juliet and Lorcan are 'twitterpated' within hours and plans to be together are launched upon with great gusto. All within days of meeting. I have to admit at raising my eyes to heaven at this stage. The Story meandered for a bit, with excess narrative (the church fire was not required in the novel, in my opinion) and I very nearly gave up. The thing that kept me going was Martha. I wanted to know what happened to her. What had happened to her great love with Edward? I had lost interest in Juliet and Lorcan, for sure, but Carissima appeared on the scene and brought the story to life. The descriptions of the property were limited but enough to make me want to visit. The grounds with walled gardens, a lake and rolling, gentle hills sounded idyllic. The whispers in the night and the unexplained turning on and off of lights made for more page turning.Eventually, upon discovery of the 1800's diary in the library, the story found itself. The missing threads were tidied up and the atmosphere came to life. Martha's story was the heart of this book. It just came a little too late. I would have liked more from the Pershaws and less of Juliet and Logan. Maria can certainly write though. You can tell she really connected with the character of Martha and with the idea of Carissima. I'm sure the historical fiction genre is her niche, perhaps for a more mature reader and I think we will see may more beautiful covers, with her name on them, over the next few years.
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Unexpected with an original plot By Suze Lavender Juliet's mother sends her daughter to Florence, to have a proper holiday. Juliet is a photographer and she has to travel a lot for her job. When she arrives in Florence she's expecting to stay in an empty apartment. Logan, the son of the owner of the apartment had the exact same idea, to come there for a holiday, so his mother's apartment wouldn't be empty. Now that they're both there neither of them wants to leave and they decide to share. They're getting along brilliantly and their holiday is a lot more romantic than they both expected when they arrived.In 1888 Martha keeps the new doctor, Edward, company before he's getting back to his practice in the middle of the night. She's a governess of a little girl who's ill because of an infection. She loves Edward instantly, but they can't be seen in public with each other. He has to make a success of his practice first and Martha has no dowry. She promised to take care of the little girl and she's intending to keep that promise. Martha and Edward are meeting in secret and are planning to get engaged when they both have something to bring into the marriage. Unfortunately they're being separated when the family has plans to move to Ireland.In Ireland Martha and Juliet's stories are coming together. There's something that they have in common. Both women are strong and they're fighting to be with the man they love. For both of them that isn't very easy. Their stories are beautiful and I couldn't wait to find out if they would get their happy ending or not. For the Love of Martha is such a beautiful story. I was hooked from the beginning. I loved this book. Martha's and Juliet's stories are both equally fascinating and I enjoyed reading about their lives and their characters.For the Love of Martha is set in different countries. In each of them something significant happens. Everything becomes clear when Juliet and Logan are in Ireland. I had no idea where the story was going and I quite liked the original plot. This novel has so many unexpected twists and turns. They kept the story interesting and I was moved from beginning to end.
