This is a beautiful, heartbreaking, and mysterious story with luscious writing! It's told through two time periods, with the main character in the later time period unraveling some of the secrets and mysteries of her family. I'm leaving from this story heartbroken from how the conflicts in Russia affected the families and lives of the characters, but I feel like I don't have a very good understanding of the history behind everything. I have some learning to do there! There is a lot of mystery packed into this story and I definitely don't have all of the answers that I was hoping to have. I noticed that often the reader was meant to infer something; details were left unsaid. This was amazing in adding to the intrigue of the story but I also think I might be missing some details I was supposed to pick up on! I was also not prepared for how sad this one was. Truly beautiful yet heartbreaking!
