I also thought the illustrations really added to the story, but I am unsure if I would have enjoyed it as much without the illustrations. They really heightened the emotions and memories in the story which allowed it to be quite an immersive read. This is my first Jessie Burton and I am intrigued to read her other works. I would recommend this, especially to those who enjoy Greek Mythology!
