dark emotional sad medium-paced

3.5

I liked the blend of historical events with myth and magic. The characters are experiencing the effects of secrets, both known and unknown to them, which at the same time bind them together and keep them apart from one another.

internationalreads's review

The incestuous sexual abuse of a child was romanticized as a “relationship.” Nope nope nope.
