Light at Lavelle by Paullina Simons

ARC kindly received via Pan MacMillan Australia for an honest review.
I have been a Paullina Simons fan since I read The Bronze Horseman years ago. That's my favourite book and series by her. I strayed from her books for a while but this one has brought me back to the memory of how good her writing is.
I will start by saying, this book is LONG. It's a slow burn that covers many things - there is a lot going on in Ukraine and the USA that is covered in this book - set in the Great Depression. Finn and Isabelle are really great characters. I truly enjoyed getting to know them and just adored Isabelle and her straight up personality and her quirks.
Through hardship and joy this story runs, and I enjoyed reading this - I was a little disappointed in the ending, although I can see why it ended how it did. It was kind of bittersweet. I was quite hooked on this one after I got into it, and I definitely recommend.
