Ophelia Swam: An Oxford Novel by Kelley Swain

emotional hopeful reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Character

5.0

Absolutely exquisite. This is partially based on the botanist Lady Grace Mildmay, herself one of my favourite historic figures. It is imbued with a nostalgic magic and reads like a spell. Lyrical and beautiful and moving.
