The Firebird by Susanna Kearsly is a big fat romantic novel full of mystery and travel and a little magic.
Nicola Marter has the rare gift of psychometry, touching an object and being able to see its history. She works for an art dealer and holds a small carved wooden bird that the owner claims once belonged to Catherine the Great. There is no proof of this, yet Nicola knows it to be true as she has seen it all as soon as she held the bird.
This sets Nicola upon a path of discovery that becomes more personal than she could have imagined, as she embarks on a journey to Scotland, and then St. Petersburg.
Reminiscent of Diana Gabaldon's Outlander Series, you will either love it or hate it. I loved it. Nothing remarkable about the writing, just a great story I was happy to get caught up in and go along for the ride.
