It's the first book I read by this author and loved the style of writing but I found the story a bit too depressing.
It's one of those case "It's me, not the book" as storytelling and character development are excellent.
The plot is well developed and the historical background is vivid.
Unfortunately I struggled to thoroughly enjoyed as I found it too depressing.
I'm sure other people will love it and I recommend it for the great style of writing.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
