I found this book an interesting read. I liked the idea of taking a true person that died as a child and let her live instead. Including chapters covering the latter part of the mother's life was a nice way to see how the daughter picked up characteristics from the mother. The historical setting enhanced my enjoyment of the book. I would definitely recommend it to anyone interested in historical novels.
This was a fanscinating book about the relationship and lives of three women and the journey to discover how their lives intertwined. It was a book that I had a hard time putting it down until I came to the end. Great story!

Fascinating story. Couldn't put it down until I reached the last page. The main character's life is defined by her family's history and personality. And yet she is not free of it until she finds out about a secret that everyone has kept from her.
