The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
5.0

Magical! Transportive! I loved this book so much-- it was my first by Maggie O'Farrell but the writing is so beautiful and compelling that I went out and bought Hamnet while I was only 20 pages into Marriage Portrait. Point being, this is a fantastic book. I loved the interwoven timelines, it gave so much depth to the characters but also added an element of suspense, turning the novel into a mystery it felt like we were solving as the pieces came together.
