I'm really picky with historical fiction reads so I didn't have high expectations of this one. I liked the premise but somehow this book fell flat. I couldn't get into the story enough.
I actually listened to the audiobook and the only thing that kept me into the story was the narration. The narration was really gorgeous.
Maybe this wasn't my cup of tea but I still think this book could've been so much more.

With the Great War looming on the horizon, Georgie Hyde-Lees meets W.B. Yeats. Although the poet is much older than 21 year old Georgie, the two are drawn to each other. As war comes to England, Georgie spends her days nursing injured soldiers and her night with Yeats where he becomes obsessed with The Order, a secret society that believes in magic and summoning the souls of the dead. I knew nothing of Yeats’s personal life, but this book, based on real events, changed all that. Lee’s gorgeous narration of a lost time and place is simply enchanting
