An artfully written historical fiction novel that’s main issue is the length. However, don’t let that put you off. At times, some POV shifts may feel unnecessary or questionable, but as this novel wraps up it comes with an understanding. Not to mention, despite the length my interest never faded. I adored, was intrigued, needed to understand the various characters. 

I would recommend to someone who wants to grow attached and enjoys reading a Wikipedia page of a celebrity’s life.
