I really enjoyed this book. This story gave me Eat, Pray, Love vibes with the current day main character taking some time away after a fight with her husband. Additionally, there are mystery thriller vibes from the events in the late 1700s. Kept me engaged and interested through its entirety.

I really enjoyed this book! A lot more than I thought I was going to, based on the rating. I love the fact that it took us through the POVs of Caroline, Eliza and Nella and how it tied each of these women together, despite not really having anything in common.

I especially love how the end tied it all together with Caroline realizing that she found Eliza’s tincture bottle, it really just brought it all full circle.

Overall a fun read and would definitely recommend!
