The concept of this book is really interesting and I really enjoyed how it was brought to light.The connections and story’s between the characters were extraordinarily good and the different perspectives of the time lines in Britain and the characters were really interesting.Great book :)

Enjoyed the writing style and the themes- I understand the reception this book has received, but it just wasn’t really my taste.
