pick4/5
I really enjoyed this collection of non-fiction vignettes about people and moments in history mostly between the mid-nineteenth and mid-twentieth centuries. I found the stories to be beautifully written and very moving. I can't pick a standout because they were were all so unique and emotional. I wasn't familiar with The Memory Palace podcast before reading this book, but I didn't feel that I needed to be in order to enjoy it.

pickAfter a slow start, this one grew on me & I really enjoyed reading it. The MC starts off as someone whom the reader is unsure about whether they can trust her version of events, but as time goes on, the reasons for her anxiety & actions become clear.
It was well thought out & the historic plotline dovetailed nicely with the present-day one. I worked out some of the conclusion but not the full picture of what was actually going on. (continued)
pickWell, daaamn!!! I did not expect all the twists this book had in store for me. Probably the most fun read I‘ve encountered this year, so far!
I really think it is best to go into this book as blind as you can and just enjoy the ride!
If you love family dramas with murder and lots of secrets thrown in the mix, PICK THIS ONE UP!
