The Women in the Castle

Harper Collins provided a copy of this book

There is so much to love about this book. It is a sweeping epic of the decade immediately following WWII and an intimate portrait of the relationships found therein. Though occasionally I found myself feeling like the pace was a little slow, the narrative rewards the reader for sticking with it through all those details as it wraps up. A beautifully written book that is heartbreaking and joyous, a cautionary tale and a story of forgiveness.
