5.0
This book had a an addictive, twisty plot with equal tones of romance and politics. Every character is well written and developed, and the subtle shift of narrator perspective contributed well to the telling of the story. The significance of The Stationary Shop evolves gradually as the book progresses and revealed more depth in the very last pages than I was expecting.
I didn’t hear enough praise about this book when it was originally released, but I’m so glad I picked it up!
