I liked it, it was exciting, sad, interesting, so many things at once. It was a clean book without stuff that I didn't need to read about. The flashbacks to the past were informative enough without being distracted. I loved the time period and the representation of restrictions on women and what it would look like for one of them to challenge everything. Henry is amazing, real without being unbelievable. Kate's family mad me sad but it was believable and contributed much to who she was and what motivated her to be that way. I didn't understand the last scene with the grandfather, it was confusing and I would have preferred to leave with her first meeting with him in my mind. It was great though and I didn't want to put it down.
