🔽 Book review and notes 🔽
As expected, it's gripping, exciting, and a great storytelling.
The story is more straightforward than Fingersmith, but definitely not less curious.
It has all the good female characters.
After the war a woman now lives modestly with her mother, they decide to rent out a room but she falls for the young beautiful wife. And yes we'll have a crime scene and it all goes wrong.
They're in love but who manipulates who? But is it manipulation or true love?
They find a tiny corner in the hostile society where they love blindly.
