I don’t know why, but when I first heard of this book, I thought I wouldn’t be interested. In reality, it is practically made for me: a mid-century historical fiction where the narrative changes perspective. That’s right up my alley. I loved the way this was written and the way the plot unfolded. My one complaint is that it felt like Desiree didn’t get as much development compared to other characters. Still, I truly loved this, and I would highly recommend it.

This book was amazing. I went into it not really knowing anything, but just having heard a lot of good things. I was so pulled in that sometimes I would stop reading (listening to the audiobook, really) and not know what I was doing or where I was. It felt like a whole different world, and I wish I could stay in it longer.
