This was such a detailed and compelling read. Following Violeta’s journey through her life really showed the true meaning of life. We saw her high and low moments, her connections and struggles with friends and family, and we saw her reflect and adapt throughout everything. 

I really love historical fiction because I feel like I am constantly learning new things. I learned so much from reading this story. It starts in a pandemic in 1920 and it ends in 2020, and there were so many haunting events that took place in between.
