The Wife's Promise

Overall, I enjoyed this book, but it took me a bit to get into it. In the beginning I found the narration stilted and somewhat annoying. That seemed to get better as the book progressed so I chalked it up to my just needed to get used to it. For me, the modern timeline seemed almost ancillary to the historical fiction timeline. Unfortunately it felt like there was more attention/development in that modern timeline. I felt the beginning of the book was almost too descriptive and may have contributed to it feeling slow, but then the last part of the book felt rushed and not fully formed. The pacing was just never really in that Goldilocks zone. I didn't love or hate this book so I have given it 3 stars.
