The Women of Chateau Lafayette by Stephanie Dray

3.0

I read this for book club and I’m glad I stuck with it, as the length is out of my comfort zone and the genre is still not my favorite. I enjoyed learning about and coming to appreciate Lafayette (and her husband!) and the other amazing female characters. I’m not a fan of split timelines and have trouble tracking the stories, no matter how engaging … I can’t help wonder how the reading experience would have been different had it been written in 3 separate parts. I get it that the intertwining timelines makes the overlaps satisfying. It’s just too many tabs to keep open for my brain.
