pickThis was sort of a sad Miss Benson‘s Beetle with an undertone of The Thirteenth Tale and just a hint of romance for good measure. It took a bit for me to get into but then it just hummed along. And I ❤️ the map Crosby drew that was included in my #SweetReads box that featured this book.

This was a weak pick for me. I enjoyed the two storylines, one more modern and the other in the past. The descriptions of the island are detailed and beautiful. At times the characters felt a bit flat to me though, but overall it was an enjoyable read.
so-soWhile the writing is beautiful, I just could not get into this book. I was enchanted with the descriptions of the island landscape and the wildlife there, but I could not connect to the characters Marianne and Tartelin.
“THE WOMEN OF PEARL ISLAND transports you to the shores of a gorgeous, butterfly-filled island and into the heart of a sweeping decades long mystery.”
