The little one died last night at the village, and Vincenza could not see it. The doctor will tell you about it all, she said, nodding significantly, and lowering her voice. He knows.
Murder, attempted murder, kidnapping, brain fevers, 2 shipwrecks...this book has it all. Despite rolling my eyes a few times, it get my interest the whole time. A few one-dimensional characters for sure but also a few with a bit more depth/interest.
