I enjoyed the aspect of the story from the 1700s vs the present day story. I found the present day story to be a bit boring until the very end. Really enjoyed the story of the history and would’ve loved to read a novel from just that aspect.

This one was split between present day and the late 1700s and was so good. There was mystery, there was murder, there were women fighting for each other and themselves.
