Could Recommend

I have to admit this one didn't really grab me :( 

I was hopeful since the main character is Indian and therefore, it didn't necessarily have the usual regency plot.

It was still a fine book but just didn't jump out at me as being amazing.

A little slow but sweet.

I could easily recommend it as there was not anything that was offensive but it won't be the first one that comes to mind when suggesting a recent great read.

Heartily Recommend

I am so excited to share this book!

I had high expectations because I liked her last one so much and this one did not disappoint!

Politano brings together victorian asylums and early music therapy in this novel.

It was fascinating, intriguing, haunting and beautiful!

I cannot think of anything I objected to in this book.

Of course, the subject matter could be a bit depressing at times but that is the only thing I would warn people against...a little dark and sad.

However, if you feel you can handle that, then this is a must read and I recommend it with no other reservations!
