This is a hauntingly beautiful! I usually don't read historical fiction and I have never read a book by Rupta Serpets. I might have to read something by this author though! In that short amount of time she made these two dimensional characters and she made me care about piece of history by bringing me to this time. Also referencing literature in books is a great way for book lovers to love this! I would be interested to read more of this book and by this author.
