I do love an interconnected short story collection! Favourite stories were: The Castle of Montreal, Ortona, Montreal Awaits You, The Belly Dancer, Rue Berri, Your Hands Were Blessed.

This was a fascinating read. I found the earlier vignettes interesting and profound. While I enjoyed the lead-up to the present day, I found it increasingly difficult to follow the story/narrator's relationships.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for an eArC in exchange for an honest review
