I had higher expectations for this book than the book was capable of meeting. I love both history and historical fiction and thought the concept for this book, the combination of primary source documents and photographs with a fictional narrative would be amazing. The combination worked but the primary protagonist grated on my nerves. I honestly could never figure her out. Wiles left too many pieces missing for this book to rank higher than average in my opinion.
