A very atmospheric and engaging literary novel. I enjoyed the subject matter and following a group of women around Oxford. The characters all have unique quirks but they grow together and it makes me for an engaging read.

The writing style was consistent throughout and Miller does a fantastic job of transporting the reader to the time period. This was one of those books where it was so easy to feel everything that was happening.

I will say that this book took me a bit to get through- it’s lengthy and there’s lots to digest!
