This author has such a clear way with words that I am not surprised that I was immediately enthralled by this new book, especially considering how much I loved The Beekeeper of Allepo. There is so much nuance in her writing, characters that feel like real people and complex relationships that you cannot help but root for. The writing style is elegant and easy to get enthralled in and the stories are both unique but also relatable to so many. A masterful story teller at work.
