Published: 2016
Genre: Mystery, some history
Wow! Top 3s:
LOVED:
1. beautiful language, evocative - I could picture myself in Paris!
2. my curiosity was piqued on so many levels about so many different things
3. connections made between the characters and the eras in history (The author wove the story strands very effectively.)
Didn't Love:
1. audiobook format - sometimes the reader's gorgeous voice got too quiet and I missed words. It can be hard to focus on driving safely AND wanting to actually hear the story. There are only so many times you can safely hit the "back 15 seconds" button while listening. I didn't like missing parts of the story, nor cranking the volume up then needing to turn it back down.
2. The very predictable path of Claire's and Armond's (?) relationship.
3. That it's over! What a good book. Sorry no real review here - Google it for a description.
