I'm not usually a huge fan historical fictions but this one captivated me. I know multi perspectives/time lines can be hard to follow but it made me feel like I was piecing together a puzzle as I went. It's beautifully written and kept me engaged the entire way through. The romance in the book is slightly unnecessary but the rest of the plot had me holding my breath and in tears.
