I loved this so much.
The lovely prose, the holes in history filled in, the vivid characters… it’s amazing.
English majors will especially enjoy this.
It was so delightful. I’m still in awe and will be thinking about this book for a while. I loved the author’s note at the end about how her idea for writing this came about. Very clever and well done.
