REVIEW
5 out of 5
This was a vivid page-turner. Grossman does a great job of drawing the reader in from the first page, and the descriptions are so well done it’s as though you are walking through the book watching everything unfold. (Honestly I could swear I almost smelled some of the scenes they were so well written). The characters feel real, with depth, emotions, and all the complications that come with being all too human. Between the 17th century and today, the reader is led down a path with plenty of twists, turns, mysteries, and surprises. If you’re looking for a captivating piece of fiction to keep you reading through the night, then you’ve found it.
