I read little bits of everything. My mystery preference is cozy. I enjoy science fiction, but do not have a science background. And I'm a hobbit from wayback before I was old enough to vote.
This historical fiction novel has a very undefinable quality. Similar to "The Help" but with the charm of "Guernsey Literary & Potato Peel Society." Can see the book becoming a big hot with book clubs who have done all the usual suspects.
