I recently finished this book and I cannot stop thinking about it > Likes and Comments

Hey everyone! I recently finished "The Ink Between Us" by Chiara Bellini (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GM7K9RDH) and honestly had to come here because I don't think enough people know about this book yet.

Okay so: sapphic historical romance, 18th-century Rome, a modern woman historian who time-travels into a working printshop in 1748 Trastevere. She falls for Giulia, one of the only female printers in Rome, and here's the thing that wrecked me: Sophia already knows from historical records that the printshop burns down in 1751. She arrived with three years.

The atmosphere is gorgeous. Warm, ink-stained, candlelit Rome, printing presses, movable type as a metaphor for how love leaves permanent marks. It's that perfect combination of "I want to cry" and "I want to go back and read the first chapter again".

Has anyone else read it? Would love to discuss that ending. 🖤

Hey, Luna!
I’ve never read the book but I just checked it out and it sounds superrr interesting. I absolutely love sapphic romances set back in early days.
I just started reading the sample and I have to say, at “she deserves to be known… even if only by me” I was hooked.
Thanks for the recommendation!
