Historical fiction isn’t always my jam but it was beautifully written and certain passages I’d often skip over in other book, ones of great detail of reflection, popped off the page in angelic notes. I didn’t have to read this for school, just for fun and I think not having to dissect the piece definitely allowed me to enjoy it more.
