I loved this book! I was a bit unsure of whether I would like it or not because I can find some historical fiction quite boring, but this book had everything I needed. I loved the lyrical storytelling, that really immersed my into the character of Eli Bell, and once a bit of plot got going, I was on the edge of my seat. The pacing of this book was very enjoyable, as it took time to really develop the world and the character of the book.

Would recommend!
