Magical and intriguing

🏡I found this book intriguing and I enjoyed reading it. My heart broke for the situations the Opaline and Martha were forced into but also proud of how they found strength to overcome the obstacles. I learned so much about how women’s voices were silenced during that time and how inhumanly they were treated in asylums . I love reading books that teach me something I never knew.
I also loved the magical realism 🪄elements and also the slight bit of mystery as Henry and Martha work to uncover Opaline’s story. I felt satisfied that the ending tied everything up nicely. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a book that will take you on an emotional adventure while also incorporating some interesting literary facts and elements into the story. 4 stars 🌟🌟🌟🌟
