Almost halfway, there's a lot of grief and processing of the loss of a child which is really hard for me to read through though so had to stop.

Beautifully written, but slightly too up to interpretation for my tastes. I loved Mary's relationship with Isabella and I thought Mr Booth was a really intriguing villain. I found the time in Geneva quite repetitive, although those relationships were also well-written and very interesting

Loved it. The writing is lovely, flowing between past and present to slowly reveal the true nature of the characters.

I just found it quite dull. I will try it as a physical book but for me it didn't work as audio.
