The Moon, the Stars, and Madame Burova by Ruth Hogan
4.0
I really enjoyed this little story. It’s a bit predictable, but nonetheless, a good yarn. I love that part of the story takes place in early 1970s England, and all the characters are fully formed. I’d read a whole novel about nearly any of the characters. I’m a sucker for any novel with a bit of mystery and a bit of magic (This one has a fortuneteller), and while there is one bit about animal abuse, the smallest of spoilers: the dogs are fine. (If they hadn’t been, I would have not finished the book.) the audiobook was really well narrated, although my brain wouldn’t always catch when the story was in 1971 or “now,” which meant I had a few moments of confusion. Not the audiobook’s fault, just my own lack of concentration.
