Taking that in consideration, I didn't like this book, but I did enjoyed the reading. It's a slowed pace book that I would pick up for when I would need a break from really rushing books and I want to slow down in the genre or a book I will pick to keep myself busy while in an appointment or when I'm bored. I didn't found anything special about it. It was simple and dull. Also, it was predictable for me. I really loved Lucrezia's rebel inner self, but she was too passive and... she was just a child in adult's matters. It was heartbreaking that she could not understand what was going on around her and how she was left alone with herself and her maid (who was another child) and they had to "navigate" the adult world. Since they were child who would not know how to handle/navigate the adult world, it challenging to read through the book. I honestly consider this book more historical with a tiny little touch of fiction. And I believe that's what manage me to read it to the end.
I believe the main reason this reading wasn't entertaining to me was because of the period the book was settle and that made it predictable and dull for me.

I ended the book feeling satisfied, but somehow wanting for more, to loose myself a little bit longer on that story.
For me, this is a book to be savoured, so don’t rush the reading. Must say that I am excited to read more of O’Farrell’s work.
Moderate: Emotional abuse and Toxic relationship
Minor: Physical abuse
