I did enjoyed the read of this book. And the time period I haven't read about in this context so was informative too.
I disliked Marion coming to the end of the book but some of this was wanted by the author. However by the end I was finding it difficult to connect anymore to her character. I saw someone else's review that commented on the same thoughts as me about the difficulty understanding the intent of the author and feeling like they wanted you to simiphise with Marion.
I also at the start didn't realise it was written from a point of view so took me a second to work that out!
It was a good read like I said, and I enjoyed my experience reading it however its not a new favourite.
