Absolutely captivating!! I can't believe so much of it is based on a real story. The author did an incredible job bringing England's famous female bonesetter back to life, and the suspense of the plot twists kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Endurance is also amazing autism representation!
This was one of those books that simply broke my heart, only to heal-(set?) it not long after. I finished it in two sittings. Absolute masterpiece of a book, I'm so glad I couldn't sleep and decided to pick it up. MUST READ!
