truly enchanting

So incredibly good. Melanie Dobson is a gifted writer who knows how to enfold her readers into her story with her beautiful and lyrical storytelling voice. She is a master of split timeline stories with rich history and fascinating intrigue and mystery built into the plot. I loved Amelia and Birdie’s voices from 1907 era. Amelia seemed somewhat typical of the titled and newly wealthy women from that generation but her self-realization and growth throughout the book impressed me. Birdie’s bright optimism, resilience, and faith made her the true heroine of the story. Chloe and Logan from 1992 era were deeply layered characters who were quite satisfying to get to know. There were plenty of surprises in the plot and an underlying current of suspense moved the story at a good pace. The two timelines melded seamlessly to create a mesmerizing tale that is unforgettable. It's an epic story of faith, hope, love, and justice.
