I did not like it as much as I hoped I would! At the beginning, I could see the potential for some really great weaving of interconnected themes, but it never really came together for me. There were also a lot of scenes/pages that seemed to be dropped out of nowhere, unrelated to the main/any plot, and tho I can appreciate a slice of life, in the context of this book I didn’t really understand why they were included.

Great book! Really gives you a sense of a specific place and time. Beaton does a gray job of weaving a complicated narrative out of what's primarily a lot of little vignettes.
