She's done it again 🥺🥺🥺🥺
I don't have words to explain the brilliance of this book. The twists, the history, the threads of this story are woven so artfully, so beautifully. SK's simple, layered style absolutely punches my gut every time. She pulls these little known figures from history, and fleshes them out, tells their stories, so that they won't be forgotten. Absolute brilliance.
Also I'm pretty sure I would die for Lily, that she would never see another hard day in her life, just saying.
