The Whalebone Theatre by Joanna Quinn
5.0
challenging emotional reflective sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This is a wonderful book with engaging characters and a fascinating storyline ranging over the first half of the twentieth century. I enjoyed the split timeline format, and the inclusion of letters and newspaper reports. This is a potential top 10 of the year contender for me.
