I didn't know books could be like this. I've been missing out. What have i beeb wasting my time on?
Historical, queer romance is my thing. And this is the thingest of the thing. Deep exploration of the historical context, really portraying accurate, complex, terrifying history. Alongside immense depth of character exploration, emotion, fears and hopes, in a setting where such things would usually have been brushed under the carpet.
Made my cry a LOT and that's a compliment.
Alice Winn is frankly a genius and I'm gonna need more from her. Stat.
