The Times

‘<b>Instantly gripping</b>, this novel holds you in its spell from first to last. I was desperate to learn the fates of every one of Tobin’s vivid, intriguing characters – I simply could not stop reading. <b>Exceptional storytelling</b>, full of heart, wisdom and passion. <b>Unmissable</b>’

- Antonia Hodgson, author of The Devil in the Marshalsea,

'<b>A wondrous, captivating novel</b> that seamlessly weaves 1941 Blitz ravaged London with the creation of the intriguing Mirrormaker’s Club in 1841. An historical novel with depth, beguiling characters, and an enthralling, racing story, <i>A Map of the Damage </i>is <b>a triumph</b>'

'<i>A Map of the Damage </i>is a <b>gripping </b>mystery with a <b>passionate </b>Victorian love story at its centre. I found myself completely drawn into a world of creative obsession, dramatic romance, and a breathless quest for the truth. Sophia Tobin’s <b>masterful storytelling</b> kept me hooked throughout, and her vibrant characters and beautifully rendered historical settings made this a real pleasure to read'

- Sophie Hardach, author of Confession with Blue Horses,

'Sophia Tobin uses her beguiling creation, the Mirrormakers’ Club, built in 1841 and badly damaged in the Blitz, to unite <b>a vivid cast of characters</b> from two eras. All are engaged in trying to solve a mystery that - with <b>wonderful ingenuity </b>on the part of the author - will finally be fully revealed only to the reader' 

- Miranda France,

the i on The Vanishing

Already a Sunday Times bestselling author with her first novel, A Map of the Damage confirms Sophia Tobin as a rising star. This is stunning historical fiction for fans of Tracy Chevalier.  London, 1941. Livy makes her way through Blitz-torn London to the Mirrormakers’ Club, the only place that makes her feels safe, where she finds herself drawn into the mystery of a missing diamond, and torn between two men with competing claims on her.  London, 1841. Charlotte is helped from the scene of an accident by a man who shows her a building he is working on, and whose kindness unlocks a hope she has long kept buried. But that man is not her husband.   Two women, a century apart, united by one place: the Mirrormakers’ Club. A building which holds echoes of past loves and hates, and hides the darkest of secrets in its foundations.Praise for A Map of the Damage ‘A beguiling tale of love and loss’ The Times ‘Instantly gripping, this novel holds you in its spell from first to last.
