It's a fascinating historical novel, you can see how The Cazalet and other novels inspired the author.
It's a book that requires to be patient as it's very slow in the first part and there are some very unlikeable characters.
The author develops a fascinating story, I liked Cristable and her sibling. The historical background is vivid and the description of the setting are lively.
it's a good story and I'm happy i was patient because i enjoyed it.
Recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine
