A review by oopsie_daisies
The Strange Journey of Alice Pendelbury by Marc Levy

5.0

I don't often read book thumbnails because I like going in blind. This book is proof of how you can come across the most precious little gems because if I had read the description, I don't entirely know if I would have read it. I do not love historical fiction, or historical romances. And to call this either one of those categories, well, it fits...but it doesn't nearly encompass it! Once the story got going, I really did not know where it was going to go. The story and the flow and the movement all worked so well. The characters felt a little bit like watching an old black and white film - which isn't a bad thing. I don't know how to describe it, except that there were parts to the story and the writing that were just magical. Images and scenes laid out so masterfully... I truly truly enjoyed this book and I was sad when it was over simple because it was over.
