Shemilt’s writing is so clear and exacting to create the perfect visualizations and are also so rich with emotion. You can feel and understand the motivations of each character and can see the lives in great detail of so many people in her thorough prose. Quick read that doesn’t feel rushed I can’t wait to read her other works.
