I initially wrote this book off as well. I wonder why we both responded that way?

Can you believe it? This book sounds interesting and I love the cover!

Shannon, Parmar’s prose is way more subdued and lovely than my over-the-top verbiage so yes, I think you would really like it. I’m also fascinated by that time period so to feel like you were there with them made it even better.

Thank you so much! I truly loved this book. I don’t give a lot of 5 star ratings but this one earned it for me.

Sounds like the writing is really strong, which I definitely love.

Then this might be perfect for you because it’s well before she had anything published and it’s mostly about Vanessa. Much more personal and fiction wrapped in gorgeous writing!

That said, I think she’s fascinating and this fictionalized look at her back story sounds delicious.
