Fairytale Endings - May 6, 2017

Bitter Greens by Kate Forsyth
4 stars



Interweaving the story of a seventeenth century nun banished from the French Sun King's court and the original fairytale of Rapunzel, this enchanting novel blends stunning historical details with beautiful storytelling.  As a fan of historical fiction, this novel hit all the right spots with three intersecting stories that come together in a satisfying conclusion.  It was interspersed with poems and sonnets that I really just skimmed over and it felt a little long at times, but overall, this was a really enjoyable read.  I received this from NetGalley (ages ago) in exchange for an honest review.
