A review by srah
The Rose Code by Kate Quinn

emotional hopeful informative inspiring mysterious tense slow-paced

4.5

I took off a quarter point for being a bit longer and slower than it needed to be, and another quarter point for the graphic descriptions in the

Café de Paris

scene, which I have been thinking about all week since I read it.
