Well. This book has been everywhere and much lauded and now I know why. It’s just… go out and read it, if you haven’t already! Admittedly it deals with some tricky concepts and that may be triggering to some. I wouldn’t be surprised, I found it upsetting at points.

But the characters are so finely drawn, the mystery unfolds so gently, the relationships are so beautiful.

I found Eleanor with her bravery and journey so inspiring! I loved the Sense and Sensibility and Jane Eyre references throughout.

This really is a special book.
