hmmm it’s hard to review cos i read a good bit then took a break for other books 🤭
once you get used to the points of view ( you know who i mean ;)) this is a lovely lovely book so well thought out and didn’t realise how well thought until reading the real life sources 
such a cool way for me to learn a bit about cypriot history
also the writing style is so descriptive in a really thoughtful way idk 
she just really thought about how to write this story u guys!!!!
