Beautiful, harrowing, and horrifying in equal measure.  A layered tragedy brought to life with vivid prose and characters.

Just an okay book. I didn’t find myself on the edge of my seat, and the characters and plot were mostly predictable/unimpressive.

This had everything in love in a book - a historical setting, bleak scenery, feminist undertones and an unexpected conclusion. Loved it. Only a few moments where I felt the writing style to be a tiny bit lacking, but otherwise great
