I was given an eARC from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Dark, disturbing, beautiful, & gritty. I loved this book! This is not your clean & easy historical fiction. Some graphic scenes. The ending of this novel was shocking but fits the narrative, & I can‘t wait to discuss this book with someone who has read it! Highly recommended for those that enjoy informative, compelling historical fiction.
Good morning! Time to read the donuts! 🤘🏻📚☀️
I'm on the cusp of 'Pick' and 'So-So' with this one, but I liked it more than I didn't. I thought the writing was beautiful; the historical aspect of cosmetics was interesting (and horrifying); the story was ok until the end when it went CRAZY GOOD. I hated the main character - mostly because she was a hateful person; she reminded me of Grenouille in 'Perfume'. If you liked that book you'd maybe like this one too - both are beautiful and horrible.
I don't know about everyone else, but I 100% have a reading hangover after yesterday's #readathon.
I somehow managed to drag myself out of bed to go to work and I suspect it's going to be a VERY long day. I've only got about 100 pages left in this book I started towards the end of the readathon, so I'm going to try and get it finished today.
I hope everybody is recovering ok!
Some days just require one to take oneself out to dinner. And when one's book is set in Italy... (Good so far, though a little slow to get started. The book, not the pasta. I inhaled the pasta.) #bookndinner
I just received THE ORNATRIX in my #bookabuy book subscription for this month. It's set in Italy in the 16th century and sounds … decadent. I think that's a good word.
