3.0

I had no idea I was listening to a historical-fiction-about-real-people book until Proust walked in. Then Sargent. And then I started googling about and was super impressed. It taught me something without me realizing it and I love that.

I love the author’s note explaining how he got to this story and what was and wasn’t invented. I thought this was a really good version of the truth events and gives younger readers the ability to discover something new.
