Inextricably drawn to the cards, Rosa is rather shocked to find that she has a talent for using them, but even more shocked by her mother's fierce reaction to this.

As the two of them investigate what happened when their mothers were young, they tentatively develop their own feelings for each other too. From the Back Cover THE TWO OF CUPS. A handsome young couple regarding one another intently while drinking from ornate goblets. Impossible... WHEN she and her family move house, Rosa unexpectedly finds herself surrounded by mysteries. First there's the pack of tarot cards, wrapped up and hidden in a box of junk. Then there's the alluring but uncommunicative boy Rosa keeps bumping into. Both of them seem to be linked to a secret from Rosa's family past - but no one is willing to tell her what it is. Can her new-found talent at reading the tarot cards reveal the answer? Or is there a better way of finding out? A romantic and original story set in Edinburgh and the surrounding countryside, that will grip readers from start to finish. 　 This review is from: The Tarot Reader's Daughter (Paperback) I was intrigued by this book as I have an interest in the tarot and by and large this didn't disappoint. Rosa is annoyed by her move to the countryside and misses her friends in the city. She thinks that living out in the sticks will be boring but she keeps seeing this boy who interests her. He seems very mysterious and when she finally meets him he's not at all what she thought he was - he goes to a private school so she thinks he's very rich but this is not the case at all. A further mystery is that whilst unpacking she finds a set of tarot cards which belonged to her mum. But her mum has always said she doesn't believe in such things......... Rosa takes the cards and practices with them. Her predictions for her friends are scarily accurate and Rosa finds that there is a link between the boys mother and her own - they were students at art school. But Rosa's mum has denied ever going..... eventually she finds out the truth. I gave this book four stars because I found the ending very odd ( you'll have to read it to find out why!)
