An excellent historic fiction. I appreciate it how they brought light to the women being put in seeing this albums when they spoke up or independent and brought to light the issues with arranged marriages and abusive marriages and how difficult it is to get away from it. Abusive relationship was interesting how they went back and forth between the two time periods and the what lives of those two people being interwoven

I don't think the story had a lot of surprises but it was well written and engaging story. I didn't want to put it down till it was done and I got invested in the people, characters and their goals and outcomes during the story.

5.0

A lovely split timeline story with more than a hint of fantasy/magical realism, but also a gritty dose of real life in terms of characters with genuine major problems to deal with. Anger-inducing in places because of the way women were treated by society as recently as a hundred years ago, and how some are still abused today. Likeable, but not perfect characters, and a few unresolved mysteries. Great narration.

A single story told from two points in time about 100 years apart.  Very well written, I could feel the heart ache.

Not to distract from the rest of the story line, but so much of this is about the actions of a psychopath, the fall out from those actions, and the victims who are trying to heal.

The book was very easy to read and I just flew through it. It had me hooked from the start. It has dark themes, but is incredibly magical and mysterious. I loved not being able to predict everything. The story really kept it interesting and tense. 
It is absolutely perfect for a cosy winter evening.
