.
There are two storylines, alternating between 1885 and 1985. At first it took a while for me to get into the rhythm but I did enjoy how they both eventually came together and shed light on each other.
.
I absolutely loved the main character of the earlier timeline, Sara. The character of Theo felt a bit one-dimensional for me for a while and although that slightly improves, it isn’t done quite to the extent I wanted. I liked the female friendships and relationships throughout, especially the unexpected ones. Sometimes the plot was a bit of a stretch or melodramatic, but overall it was a fun read.
