Review
A mysterious book with a legacy spanning from the beginning of the twentieth century to the present day unites three women—and their secrets.
This story is told in three different time periods; 1900s Boston, 1966 Havana, and 2024 London. I did like the present day a bit better than the others. Just because there seemed to be more mystery and drama unfolding. Plus, I liked Margo. I loved her cleverness.
But don’t sleep on the other parts of the story. They are all gripping! Between the Cuban revolution and the adventure Eva has at Harvard, you don’t know what is about to happen. But Chanel brought all these time periods together splendidly!
