I’m slowly getting into historical fiction and this was a good one to add to my list. I surprisingly enjoyed the mystery aspect as someone who doesn’t normally love mysteries (I’m more of a thriller girl).
I love books about books so this one hit the spot. I enjoyed the dual timeline and the fact that the two characters we primarily followed were family; epic family sagas are some of my favourite books to read so it gave me a little fix.
I like that it addressed the importance of books and their preservation. It somewhat reminded me of reading a children’s book having a moral of the story.
