Thoroughly enjoyed this read! There was some truly beautiful and thoughtful writing, and the storyline held my interest. 

It may have been a tad bit long and there were a few loose ends

(like what was the point of making Linus such a creepy brother/old man? I didn’t fully understand where she was going with that. If it was just to have a receive to get Eliza back at Blackhurst, I feel like she could have gone about it differently)

, but the ending was still super solid. 

I can’t wait to read more by this author!

This is a beautiful book that is incredibly atmospheric. I felt like I was in each of the places. I loved the tie in to real people and how the story developed. It is a slow development but it is layered and worth it.
