The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova by Ruth Hogan

4.0

I loved the book The Keeper of Lost Things and was excited to read another book by Ruth Hogan. This book features many characters who are woven together in two timelines as a young woman finds out she was adopted and is connected to Madame Burova as she starts to find out about her past. I found it interesting that Madame Burova is Romani and a fortune teller. It made me wonder if this was playing into stereotypes, but at the same time, this is not a culture I have read about before. I enjoyed the unique cast of characters in this book. It does contain references to animal mistreatment, racism, and sexual harassment.
