this was fantastic, i didn’t know what to expect as i usually don’t with historical fiction.  i think often writers can insert themselves into events and the event  either isn’t explored fully or the character says something a bit cliche. this didn’t and was a beautiful read, the event seemed to haunt in the background and was hardly mentioned other than the very beginning and the very end, the rest was a discovery to piece together the lives of those around the main character. wish it hasn’t been a library book as thee were some quotes i loved
