In 1910, Agnes Carter makes the wrong choice in marriage. After years as an independent woman of fortune, influential with the board of a prominent university because of her financial donations, she is now subject to the whims of an abusive, spendthrift husband. But when Bohemian naturalist and glassblower Ignace Novak reignites Agnes’s passion for science, she begins to imagine a different life, and she sets her mind to getting it.

I loved it
Revisado: 07-05-23
I thought this book was so observant and beautifully written. I loved how it explored intergenerational misunderstanding and trauma- each generation perceives the world through a lens tinted by their own experiences, and fails to see that the previous and next generations have needs different than their own. We all have such limited insight into the people around us and what shaped them. And we feel misunderstood, forgetting that we need to explain ourselves to other people. “It was exhausting, how people didn’t know things unless you told them. How you didn’t know things unless you asked. Unless you paid attention to the answer.”
I enjoyed getting to know the very different characters and entering their minds and worlds (Flip was my surprise favorite). I think you will like this book if you like to savor language and character building.

Best dialog, best narration

The dialog is this series sells the whole thing, and the narrator, Moira Quirk, absolutely sells the dialog. She’s just SO good.
