I am incredibly glad I picked this book back up. I first attempted to read it a few years ago, after it won several awards and was being lauded as simply amazing. I was apparently not in a good place for its complex seriousness as I couldn't get myself interested in the story. This time around, historical fiction was back to being my jam.

This is the first book in a new reading challenge, and not something I usually read. I really liked the story. The beginning and the end are really good, only the middle was a little slow.

But overall I liked the book, and it was fun to read something out of my comfort zone for a change!

Highly recommend this book. Very engrossing story.
I thought this book had a slow start, but I am so glad I stuck with it to the end. This is a great book club book as there are a variety of things to talk about. I loved that some of the chapters were only 2 pages, easy to pick up and read a quick chapter or two.
