One of my favorite books of the year so far, and maybe one of my favorite of Leigh’s books. the prose was soo lush, the characters so real and flawed. I loved the time/place setting of inquisition Spain. So imaginative and layered.
Moderate: Fire/Fire injury, Death, Torture, Misogyny, and Death of parent
