Book 43 of 2023: The atmosphere of this novel is so rich and a feast for the senses. The characters are real and flawed, easy to understand and sympathize with. Such tragic figures, the hero and heroine, with a surprise ending that grabs the reader. Sad, tragic, but beautifully written story.

Puss and pickles, Munchausen’s, and some poor rural people.

bleak…. i think i rolled my eyes approximately a hundred times reading this book, objectively a good story, beautifully prose and a great ending but i simply could not stand ethan and mattie at all (maybe that’s the point but idk i’ll have to think more on it)

This book was very dark and depressing. I never knew why Ethan‘s wife had such a hold on him? It was a hard book for me to finish. Some things are over dissected And others passed over with minimal explanations.
