very beautiful and powerful read. Ruby stole my heart. There were times Eleanor's pov was tedious but they were both very real feeling characters. Can definitely tell how much research when into the book with how well fleshed out the story felt. Glad to have some of this history known from our perspective. Loved the author's note at the end
