This book is brilliantly written. I flew through it like a warm knife through butter.

O'Farrell has an incredible talent to pull you in from the very opening page to the very last sentence. It is a masterful talent.

I will consume any and everything she writes with pleasure.

I want to urge you to go in blind and be prepared to be swept away in the storytelling magnificence.

I was given a copy of this book via Netgalley as ARC.

Wilkerson strikes again! She has written a book full of heart and emotion. It's duel timeline words brilliantly.

I do recommend reading this book for it is a clever and captivatin novel. She has masterfully explored a personal tragedy shapes a person's identity.
