Really good! Nice historical fiction. It’s not fluff, but it’s not serious literature either. I enjoyed the three parallel storylines and the revelations throughout, though some seemed less developed than others. I had a hard time keeping some of the family and names straight. I would have flipped through the book for clarification if it weren’t audio. Easy enough to keep going and let the story unfold anyway.
