A captivating novel involving strong, intertwining characters and relationships. I love books based in the city of Paris. and Paula McLain has never let me down. It touched my soul and evoked a vivid sense of period and place.

I have read all this authors books and thoroughly enjoy them. This was no exception. Thanks for the opportunity to read and good luck with this one.

I loved the time-lines for 1664 and 1939, it uses that overall feel that I was looking for in a historical fiction novel. It uses the two time-line and how Paris was almost a character in this book. I thought it showed the quest and courage in this book and cared about what was happening with the characters. Paula McLain was able to weave a strong story and characters that I was enjoying reading about.

Skylark is a beautifully written and emotionally rich novel that explores love, loss, and the search for freedom. Paula McLain’s lyrical prose and vivid historical detail bring the story to life in such a powerful way. I was deeply moved by the characters and completely swept up in their journey. Thank you to NetGalley and Ballantine Books for providing a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
