The Betrayals
by Bridget Collins
I’ve only given this three stars because it took me so long to get into the book. By around 75% I was enjoying the relationship between Claire and Leo but it was such a slow burner that I put the book down three times. Ultimately it was the writing that drew me back in, Collins’ style is stunning and the way she builds the picture of Monteverrre is gorgeous. I think some of my lack of enjoyment was due to not understand what the grand jeu was. It’s so central to the book that for me, not knowing what it was left me feeling confused and not able to appreciate the character’s desires and decisions.
Would I recommend it? Yes but with the explanation that it’s a slow burner and that you need to persevere.
