3.5

Historical fiction with some magical realism (telekinesis) taking place in France in the early 1900s. Love, betrayal, society expectations and all that comes with it. It was written well, but I didn't connect much with the main characters. I also wish the telekinesis was explained some how, or there was more acknowledgmentof the magical realism part of the story.
