It’s been so long since I read this book, but it has stuck with me all these years. Beautifully written with two stories in one. Love is such a powerful force, but so are societal norms.

This book made me feel my heart break for Isabelle and Robert. I started recommending the book before I was even finished (which is always risky). Now that I’m finished, this book is going to the top of my favorite books list
