Loved this historical novel set in Strasbourg during a heat wave in 1518. The author uses this nivel to talk about pregnancy loss, racism, and anti-gay violence. She does all this while still making me believe in the historical setting. I loved The Mercies. This novel is similar in tone. 4.5 🌟 #52bookclub23 #meanttoreadin22 @MicheleinPhilly @jlhammar @Deblovestoread @ravenlee @BarbaraBB @squirrelbrain @Bluebird @Read4life @LeeRHarry @Smarkies
