this book was both gorgeous in prose and in story.

i am a sucker for historical novels but having one full of so much love and tenderness and joy with a transgender protagonist certainly made me adore this one all the more.

despite that this wasn’t quite a 5 star for me! not only did i find it way too long but the story itself did have a few inconsistencies that detracted slightly from my enjoyment.

i am very eager to pick it up again and highlight and annotate so much of this though :,)
