jade_smith 's review for:

The Marriage Portrait by Maggie O'Farrell
4.0
dark emotional slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

 This transported me straight to Renaissance Italy and the panicked, frustrated, calculated mind of a young woman married off against her will.

I didn’t quite enjoy this as much as Hamnet. Maybe the ending was a bit cheesy. But it was really quite a good book.
