If I only had two words to describe this book it would be magical and historical. I am not a huge magical fan, but this book did it in such a way that this cynical reader could enjoy it! Alba ends up in a house where women have taken refuge in times of need and with a limited stay they are encouraged to spend their time finding their true passion.

The house talks and although I am not a magical reader, the fact that they were historical figures, mainly female authors, I totally got into it. I loved how the authors were giving these women encouragement and advice, I kind of wish I could have stayed there at some point! There is a sweet twist at the end that really made the book for me!

I would absolutely recommend this book to readers who aren't completely into historical and don't mind a little magic in their reading!
