I found this story a bit hard to follow at first. I kept getting confused about who the characters were and when the timelines switched back and forth that just made it worse. About 40% through though I kinda figured it out and started getting more invested in the stories and characters. Harriet’s perspective wasn’t as interesting so I was a bit bored by those chapters. Claire’s story on the other hand was incredibly emotional and gripping. The author’s note at the end was informative and I can tell there was a lot of time spent researching for historical accuracy!
