This story is unlike anything I’ve read before, but it has themes that are constant: family, love and loss, safety and courage. Myra is a fascinating character, and the stories that Burges weaves through multiple timelines and places are magical and mysterious.
One complaint is that this should not be categorized as a romance book. It has a romance storyline, but that plot is not the most important one in the book. It’s much more about family. This reads more as contemporary fiction or “women’s fiction.”
