A review by bookswithbecka
To Capture What We Cannot Keep by Beatrice Colin

3.0

When I first read the description of this book I expected more romance than historical fiction, but it this novel was actually the opposite. After finishing Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and browsing on NetGalley I came across To Capture What We Cannot Keep which sounded great because I've really been into historical fiction lately. However, that description let me down. I expected more romance and didn't get it and I understand that social class was very important in the 1800's, but I was bit annoyed throughout the novel and skimmed a lot. Still, the story was pretty interesting and the history of the Eiffel Tower was a treat because I know absolutely nothing about it except that it's in Paris.


I received an advanced copy of To Capture What We Cannot Keep from NetGalley and Flatiron Books in exchange for an honest review. To Capture What We Cannot Keep will be available for purchase November 29, 2016.
