I listened to the audiobook and it enhanced my experience with this book. It was a bit slow at points and I felt the character development was flat. I enjoyed the historical accuracy and the thought put into the plot and characters.
This book is like an old friend who you don’t quite understand but love all the same.
I listened to the audiobook for this one and in some ways I wish I had the physical book especially when discussing the scents. I want to do more research to understand the context. It was so poetic and grounded.
I heard great things about the book but I did not realize how emotionally invested I would become. I evaded any spoilers and I’m so glad because the twists and turns made the book a page-turner for sure.
Update: I originally rated this five stars. I just had a deep discussion during a book club and I’m feeling more critical about the way the author tries to tackle too many perspectives and plot twists.

Well researched and generally enjoyable
I listened to the audio book. I found this fascinating and inspiring. The dirty and hard truth. I want to dig in deeper!
This is the older and better cousin of Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo. I love how many themes are juggled so easily. I was surprised at how much I enjoyed it, honestly.
Although I actually did not know who Harvey was before I picked this up…I found myself really compelled by his story. Of course, I highly recommend the audiobook.
