mysterious
tense
medium-paced

It took me 40% of the book to get hooked.
I'm typically not a fan of either author - I've actually DNF'd books by each of them before. So I would not have picked this up despite loving historical fiction if it was not a Book Club pick.
I was at first confused by the time jump in the novel. And, this book is forgettable as it's been 3 days since I finished it and things are already foggy.
What I did Like:
