Just how I like my historical fiction:
Transporting, unique, a little dark and true.

Very inspired to read Dracula now...

The Heart of Midlothian is a mosaic, formed in coloured granite setts, built into the pavement near the West Door of St Giles High Kirk in the High Street section of the Royal Mile in Edinburgh. Together with brass markers, it records the position of the 15th-century Old Tolbooth, demolished in 1817, which was the administrative centre of the town, a prison, and one of several sites of public execution.

So hard to like the characters, I only liked one! I didn‘t like how the main character sort of stumbled into prison and took no responsibility for it... some interesting historical aspects but didn‘t learn as much as I would have liked since Connelly didn‘t get into much about fascism or Oswald (intentionally but I know nothing about this...)

CarolynM If you're interested in this period and in Mosley but don't want to get too heavy, I recommend the tagged book. One of the daughters was Mosley's first wife and another was his mistress (edited) 6y
