I felt like the beginning of the book was slow - perhaps because English isn’t my mother language, perhaps because of the writing. But I nearly did not finish it because I didn’t find the characters or plit that interesting.

But I think about half way the story finally picked up pace and I couldn’t stop reading. For me there is always an uneasy feeling present whenever I read a book I know is based on actually historical events, eventhough the story in the book is fiction. But it’s important to not sugar coat the history eventhough the actual story might not have happened af all the way it’s written in the book. And I think Rosella really did a great job with this.
