This may be an amazing story as it progresses, but it just dragged for me and I have given up and left it unfinished.
This took me a while to get into it, but I ended up really loving it. It’s set in France in the 1890s; the story of a young interracial couple who leave the USA because their marriage is illegal. All the characters are well drawn and, their interior lives seemed so complete. A pleasure to slow down with, and sink into.
This novel moves at the languid pace of a summer day in the South of France. Its reflections on love, friendship, loyalty and fidelity are presented by the author almost as questions to the reader to be pondered for herself, and then left to the characters to make their own choices. I came to love Thomas and Beal, not as heroes, but as flawed individuals who were open to change in themselves and each other.
