Alright, alright. I am not going to lie, I have been disappointed thoroughly by historical fiction past year but it appears that this new year I started with the best option possible. In part is due to my interest for this period, especially the specific trajectory offered by this book. I think it's especially interesting because it does warrant beneath it all the questions presented in this book.

Extracordinarily written in a way that has you UTTERLY enveloped in the story, unable to identify where you end and where Rosa starts. The research is fantastic and attentive, my sole problem is the slightest sentimentality Brough upon it that ruptures a bit the general feeling of the book.

An amazing book to start the year with.
