I really love historical fiction, and I love the setting of this book, especially when you go down Odile's timeline. I just found it bothersome that, it switched around many viewpoints. I mean, I get switching between Odile's and Lily's. That's necessary for the story to happen. But then you have some of the characters who only appear once, or the story gets told from their perspective only once, can throw the read off a little bit. Still, it's a good book and one I recommend especially for historical fiction lovers.
