I'd first like to say that this book was a bit out of my comfort zone. I'm not one to read a historical fiction without it having its fair bit of romance, nor am I a big fan of gothics. That being said, I found myself enjoying this book quite a lot. After a few somewhat slow chapters, I found myself being completely absorbed in Tallulah's story of family drama. I loved nearly everything about this book, though Tallulah was easily the best part of this novel. She was relatable, realistic, and resilient. She was far from perfect, but I couldn't help but admire her throughout this emotional roller-coaster of a novel.
So, while this book definitely wasn't something I would normally read, I am happy to have read it and will definitely look into Crandall's past works. Fans of historical fiction will love this Southern family drama, as well as anyone looking for an intriguing fiction!
4/5
