Of course, this one is one was published earlier, but I couldn’t help noticing the similarities. Those who have read both will understand: the anonymous letters, the mysterious veiled woman, and the mumblings of an old woman who’s mind is slipping, and no one pays real attention to her (but she knows the truth).

I love the fact that Julie tells the story in the third person, but let her heroines tell the prologue and the epilogue with their own voices. It is a true pleasure to feel she/he actually knows what she/he’s talking about, and in this book, that can be clearly seen (as in the others, too). I love when an author writes a book with a well done research behind it. ![]() Her stories are captivating, beautifully written, and this one is no exception. Words flow and form beautiful sentences, the dialogues never feel forced, nor the metaphors, and she’s able to create characters you love from page one, like it happened here. ![]() Something I love about Julie Klassen’s writing is her elegance. ![]()
