The Garden of Letters by Alyson Richman

3.0

I won The Garden of Letters from a Goodreads giveaway.

I liked this book I wish I could say I loved this book. It had a wonderful flow even with the bouncing back and forth between the past and present. The characters were perfect I had all of the information I needed about them to really be interested and care about what happened to them.

This is not a very light hearted book. I felt that it was very historically accurate and I was happy that Ms. Richman didn't sugarcoat any of the details. It was very honest and I did love that.

Experiencing Elodie grow and find herself throughout this book was one of the major highlights. She's a main character that one loves. She was so real and honest.

The only thing I didn't like about this book and keeps it at a 3 star rating is the end. I wish there was just one more chapter or an epilogue to round out and finish the story, I don't like open endings. I like knowing what happened and not knowing is a real let down, to me, when it comes to books.
