3.5

3.5 stars for me as it kept my interest and I wanted to know what happened to Ursula in the 1640’s, whereas I felt that Adriana’s story in the present day was not as convincing or as complex (using a sledgehammer to crack a nut). Could have been more nuanced and less ‘tell you everything on detail’. Decent narration
