Although “Bitter Greens” is a historical fiction novel with a fairy tale added in the mix, the author artfully weaves the plot so that the magical story line fits right in with actual events. Intriguing to the end, I found myself thinking about the characters several days after finishing the book. A great summer read!
Three words that describe this book: Magical; Heart-breaking; Hopeful
You might want to pick this book up if: you read or watched “Rapunzel” and have an interest in French/Italian history.
