The Flames by Sophie Haydock

3.0

The Flames explores the lives of women that surround a notorious Viennese artist during world war 1. Each perspective shows the love and loss these women experience as they seek selfless love from a selfish man. Each character is flawed in their own way, making them profoundly (and tragically) human.

A beautiful book with interesting themes, but not one I will return to. The writing was compelling and the structure was very unique. The subject matter just wasn't to my taste.
