The blurb does not do this book justice. It makes it seem way more thrilling and dramatic than it is. It’s told like a person is remembering it and telling you, there is some timeline stuff and the whole “plot” is free flowing and focused on feelings. The word choice is amazing and makes you feel deeply, the bruise in your heart where that last great love sat for too long and not anymore. If the story is not for you definitely still check out the Authors Note and Bibliography at the end for non fiction references about and from the actual time period.
