A review by tamtalksbooks
The Black Tulip by Alexandre Dumas

4.0

Slow to start, but it was important to build up the commitment and obsession of growing and cultivating the black tulip. It was also important to showcase Rosa's dedication and love for Cornelius, which is heartwarming and devastating at times. Her love for him is magical throughout the book, and has a fairytale feel where she is the hero. Really loved that. Overall the second half of the book really picks up in pace and action, which kept me engaged right up until the end.
