I will state up-front that I am not typically a historical fiction reader. Therefore, I was mainly drawn in when I heard this was also a coming-of-age/murder mystery. Heads up: it is hardly the latter.

I found myself half bored for most of the story, yet I couldn't seem to put it down, because I kept expecting something more to happen. I wanted something, anything. Alas, it was not meant to be, until the very end, as in the last few pages. For me, that ending and that reveal made it all worth it and bumped my three stars to four.
