I‘m making my way through this book slowly... I really enjoy the time period, the subject matter, and the writing style, but it‘s been slow-going. I usually read one book at a time (or at the most, one fiction and one non-fiction) but this book‘s got me reading multiple other books at the same time, just to make sure I keep reading!

Update: finally finished this one! Enjoyed the atmospheric writing, the deep research, and strong characters.

I was pulling books for an instagram photo and found this book. I swear I have never seen it before in my life. How does that happen? Do books just spontaneously appear? Maybe it came from the Little Free Library. Looks good though.
