It’s difficult to find the words to describe such a beautiful novel.
I loved how each generation tied together while somehow both mirroring and opposing each other. Both sides of the family tree had their differences but also had similarity in their journeys.
This was just one of the most gorgeous novels I have ever read. I reckon that the stories of these families will stay with me for a long time.
Seeing the two sides of the family tree reunite and find their home at the end was beautiful. Such a full-circle ending with the Castle where both of the family trees started their journey and found each other again.
