4.5

An ode to the power words hold. An absolutely stunning read: beautiful writing, loveable characters, touching and deep relationships. Would highly recommend.
Only deducting half a point because I felt very frustrated during the first half of the book because the blurb is very misleading so spoiler alert but

what is announced in the blurb (the whole suffragrettes and world war stuff) only starts at the halfway point of the book
