Loved how she made us love each character, and how the mystery unfolded slowly and naturally as we changed POV throughout the book.

A chapter from each character’s perspective shows their individual struggles and dreams as these women’s lives intertwine. Lots of history is naturally woven in from the backdrop. Very interesting!

This book gave a fascinating glimpse into 1950s America — what life was like for women from different walks of life. Although we get great character exploration, I liked some much more than others and felt let down when we had to change perspectives just when I got invested in one storyline. We have 6 main characters, and about 7+ other side characters. The author did a great job with the pacing and keeping me invested in the murder mystery. I wanted to get to the end to see how everything came together.

This book is for those that:
- Have enjoyed Kate Quinn’s books in the past
- Like found family / neighbors
- Female / feminist POV
- Learning about micro-history
