I liked the book but it just had a bit of a sad theme thru it with everyone settling. I know it happened way back when, but still.

After Along the Infinite Sea, I went into this book with lower expectations because I didn't want to risk being let down. This book did not disappoint. It was BEAUTIFUL. The level of thought that had to go into this story to make it happen is incredible. I'm not familiar with the other two authors, but I'm going to have to check out their work. It was captivating, heartbreaking, and inspiring all at once.

I love when this trio of authors comes together. Fans of the Gilded Age will love this one.

Really interesting premise by some of my favorite authors. I was sad when the book was over but happy with the story.

Fabulous Read!

I’m typically not a huge historical fiction fan but this story was told over multiple generations and had many twists and turns regarding who was connected to whom. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It’s amazing to me that three authors wrote it. The styles were like it was written by the same person.

I enjoyed this.  Though at first I got a little confused with who was who in the three timelines, but buy the end it is all sorted out and clear.  A fun mystery unravels and all the dots are connected.

This was novel number two for this talented trio of authors. Following people through time is a fascinating and successful approach. I've now enjoyed all three of their cooperative novels.
