A review by sennenrose
Madensky Square by Eva Ibbotson

3.0

This was really different to what I was expecting and I don’t know if I necessarily loved it but no one is as good as Eva at intricate subplots - I particularly loved the story of the Schumachers, and Edith and Herr Huber! Oh, and Nini the anarchist. It’s amazing how you think all the events that happen episodically are unrelated (like Sigi’s story and Nini’s) and then it turns out they’re entwined! The only other author I can think of who does that in the same way is LM Montgomery? Vibe wise, I mean. I’m glad this is my first book of the year.
