Review of 'The women in the castle' on 'Goodreads'

So like any other book, I picked this up, started reading and learning about the characters then all of a sudden about 50 pages in I realized I was completely lost inside this book and nothing else around me existed. I'm not sure at what point this happened. Maybe right from the start? But I was engrossed into the lives of these people. While I had nothing in common with them, they were my people and I needed to keep reading. The writing is flawless. Every sentence moves you forward in the story and brings you deeper into their lives. So beautifully written. I won't ever forget these women.
