Anything with Scotland has my heart 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿This story was narrated in multiple views; present day, twins Leah and Zoey and in the 14th century, Agnes ❤️ Romance, heartbreak and Scottish war, what more could I ask for? 🥹

Super absorbing multi-generational story. LOVED IT! Except for the ending. As usual, I wanted an epilogue.

Had my 2nd total knee replacement surgery yesterday so when awake today, I‘ll be reading. I like having to slow down and read, but I‘m very grateful that I only have two knees and won‘t have to do this again any time soon. 😊

Deblovestoread Good luck with your recovery! 5h

This was a mixed bag for me- thou I seem to be one of few who didn't unconditionally love it. I loved almost everything about the 1920s part of the story: I felt like I was in Brooklyn, watching Augusta and her family live life(& death) & I loved everything about about teenage Augusta, Irving, & Aunt Ester. My difficulties come in the 80s timeline: I love that the characters we meet at the retirement village are happy, active, and still open to ⬇️

bookandbedandtea But I don't love that they behaved like teenagers who didn't have any experience in talking to other humans and resolving their issues. Maybe I'm just feeling grumpy but I'd like to think a group of 80 year olds would be less prone to melodrama. Thank goodness for Shirley! She was a breath of sensible air! 10h

Very unlike me to be reading something off a prize long list but when i heard it was set in Tudor times I was drawn in. I absolutely loved these characters. Tibb is amazing, foul mouthed and free spirited with uncanny insight. The first few pages of this novel are possibly the strongest and most captivating start to a novel that i have read in a long time. I do have a quibble - i felt the “adventure story” aspect ⬇️

Centique really took over the last part of the book. I do think that makes it more of a page turner however and could get it great commercial success or a tv adaptation - i just wanted something a little different. 17h
BarbaraBB You really make me want to read it (while I wasn‘t very much drawn to it until now!) (edited) 15h
CarolynM Great review. I stacked this when @squirrelbrain reviewed it and I‘m even keener to read it now 😀 15h
squirrelbrain Great review! As @CarolynM said - I loved it too. (And I didn‘t really expect to) 15h
Ruthiella The reviews are giving me a strong Sarah Waters Tipping the Velvet vibes . I definitely want to read it. 10h
