Maggie O’Farrel writes beautifully descriptive, but it was way too descriptive for me. I was invested in the first and last 100 pages. I had to drag myself trough the middle, it took a second try at this book but I kept reading because I was intrigued enough by the possible ending. But I found the ending a bit disappointing? I did love Lucrezia’s character (development).
