Beneath the Veil of Smoke and Ash
by Tammy Pasterick, Tammy Pasterick
Beneath the Veil of Smoke and Ash tells the story of immigrants, privilege, and mental health in the turn of the 20th century. It's told from the pov of several characters but mainly focused on Janos and Karina Kovac along with their two children Sofie and Lukas. Karina suffers from what sounds to me like bipolar disorder along with a touch of post partum depression in a time when mental health issues were something to hide away in shame. Another character, Edith Covington Girard is an heiress dealing with an unknown medical issue showing that the rich have their own problems that money can't always solve.
Overall, it's a good story though it did take me a while longer than I like to actually get into the story because of various formatting issues — though I believe those are due to my having a NetGalley copy for review.
