Interesting

I enjoyed the humor and levity in this book, a nice change from my usual fare of heavy historical fiction. Set in Tuscany in a beautiful village that is suffering in its old age, this book features a colorful cast of quirky, lovable characters. Through a series of hardships and antics, the villagers come to understand that the love and harmony between them are their greatest treasures.

I liked all the characters’ personalities. There was a little good and bad in all of them.

This is the book referenced in Chernow’s biography, which Mark Twain had sold door to door after Grant’s death from throat cancer.Fascinating window into our pre and post civil war past and this underadmired President.

Good Book

The last book (for now) of the ACOTAR series and wow! What a bittersweet experience. I finished this book a few days ago and haven't been able to stop thinking of the series since. Although it took me about 100 pages to get used to the perspective change in this book, some of my favorite scenes from the series were in here. I Love Nesta's character and her journey. The repetitive nature of some of the chapters perfectly depicts exactly what it feels like to get better. The end felt a bit rushed to me and there were some moments that I didn't love, some plot points that were not closed and many questions left unanswered. But overall, I loved this one. Eager to reread the first few books again later this year!

It was good!
