This was beautiful, but doesn’t quite beat The Four Winds or The Women for me.

The first half of the book was incredible - I could not put it down - but like others have said, it became one really sad thing after another at one point. I know that's Hannah's formula (this is the third book of hers I've read this year) but this one felt particularly challenging emotionally, maybe because I was so deeply invested in the characters and wanted them all to be OK.
I loved the ending and once again, flawless narration by Julia Whelan.
