I found it an enjoyable reading experience and desperate to know how it ended - the last 2 readings lasting longer as I wanted to finish.
Despite being set in the past, it felt fresh and relatable. The historical note at the end was interesting, I didn’t know it was grounded in such truth.
I’d be keen to read another book by the author, which is always a good sign!

It was a little slow getting into it but once I was I quote enjoyed it. It was very interesting, a little haunting and dark at times. I found the ending a little disappointing and rushed. But overall a good book 👍
