so-soFinished this one up tonight while cooking a pot of Tuscan bean soup. A bit repetitive between all 3 main characters especially at the beginning. Decent historical context which shows the author‘s research. The audiobook narrator was exceptional and really helped make this an enjoyable listen. If I tried to read it I probably would have gotten bogged down. I give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️and would recommend to anyone who enjoys historical fiction.
pickA simple easy read which i need right now in my life. Love the humorous take of life in a small French village.
Soft pick.

pickIncredible. This was just as devastating as everybody said it would be. I need more of her books.
This story of two sisters, who experience the Nazis taking over their home of Paris, is so well done. The way they are both different people, yet deep down desire the same thing. Which is complex while staying simple to each woman. I‘m in awe for the writing style; bringing about such a terrible story and making it feel so real.

panPhilip of France & Richard the Lionheart discover a mutual spark of attraction @ the same time Phillip is establishing his reign & Richard is dealing w/ a controlling father & an imprisoned mother.
Interesting characters & good scene setting, but 2 problems for me. I wasn‘t invested in the romance, & I‘m not usually into books that reimagine established historical figures so much. W/ a different background, I would have liked it better.🌕🌕🌑🌑🌑
