I am typically not a historical fiction girlie but I read whatever BBBC tells me to and I loved this book!
I do think that it went long in a few areas but overall, I loved how to the two stories intersected. They were both very different but similar.
I did not read Yellow Wife so I cannot compare this book to that one but I think Johnson is an amazing author and I would definitely read another book by her!
This book is devastating and has a lot of topics around pregnancy and miscarriage so I would definitely check the content warnings before reading!
