When I requested this book I expected to read a historical mystery, a good and interesting one.
I didn't know I was starting a phantasmagorical trip in a mix of poetic magic realism, paranormal, historical fiction, and historical mystery.
I loved this book: Bridie is an amazing character but all the characters are well written and interesting: I loved the plot with the two storylines both of them enthralling, and I loved the poetic and wonderful style of writing.
I think this is one of the best book I read this year and was happy to learn that there are other books by this author and this means other fantastic trip.
I'm at loss for words that can explain how much I liked it, this was one of the best book I read this year.
Highly recommended!
Many thanks to Canongate Books and Netgalley for this ARC, all opinions are mine.
