I received a proof copy of this book and fell in love with it. This was my first read of Ruth Hogan and I will definitely be going back for more!
It was such a great story I just couldn’t put it down, I loved all the characters (even the ones I disliked if that makes sense), and the emotional journey they go on was captivating. I enjoyed how the book follows the two main characters, Madame Burova and Billie, in two different time periods, it gave much more insight into them.
Although I did figure out half of Billie’s parentage I was still changing my mind about the other half until it was finally revealed. Each individual character was well developed regardless of how big or small a role they played, it made me feel as if I knew them personally. Whilst generally a lighter read, the story also touched on some important topics such as racism, sexism, and sexual harassment.
I was really impressed with this even though it’s not my usual genre and would definitely recommend it.
