This book had a really good writing style, and it clicked with me easily. Although I didn’t have much fondness for any of the characters at all. And the plot to me, was rather slow and I feel as though nothing interesting really happened.
Both Lilly and Julia didn’t have much which really attracted me. Lilly, although having quite a story to tell, really fell flat to me since she just feels so bland. And the writing although good didn’t make her come alive, she just felt there.
And that is where I think the book just didn’t work for me too much. Although I do enjoy the historical details and the portrayal, but I really just couldn’t. There wasn’t anything really interesting about Lilly’s tale to me. And that was where it really lost my interest.
Since the story mostly centres around her, and mostly about her story. It just seems to really bore me.
Overall, the main problem with this book was the fact that I think that Lilly and Julia didn’t come alive to me. And I couldn’t connect with them or sympathise with them. The writing is the best part of this work, which I really cannot deny.
