As a continuation of the characters showcased in The Jane Austen Society and Bloomsbury Girls, I thoroughly enjoyed this book, just as I did its predecessors.

At the recommendation of a friend, she moves to Rome and takes a position as a script doctor on a major film shooting at 🔻

A bit darker than I was expecting. Tearjerker ending.

While I enjoyed the history of film making it did slow the story down a bit. I'm looking forward to listening to audiobook when it is released. There was a lot going on and I think a second read would help wrap my mind around the story. #ARC
