Thank you to Berkley Publishing for the free review copy of this book. All opinions are my own.
From the first page, I was drawn into this novel because of the immense amount of detail used. Meissner wonderfully showed the scenes and made it so easy to relate to the characters. I felt like I was in the Bright family while reading this novel, which always means the author did a fantastic job with it.
During this novel, I could feel the emotions of the characters. I was experiencing their pain, joy, trauma, and love right along with them. I like how each main woman in this novel gets their own chapters. It made it so they all could be complexly developed that led to wanting to read more about each of the women. I was engrossed in each story and found that by highlighting each woman that their issues were able to be explored more deeply.
I really enjoyed how Meissner wrote about a time in history that isn't in a lot of novels I read. It helped me get out of my comfort zone. It was different from my normal historical fiction, which is what made it so enjoyable.
This novel doesn’t come out until February 6, but now is a great time to go ahead and pre-order it. It will be a perfect late winter read.
