Historical traditions and their effects on people surprises me most of the time but I like the storyline of this book.

From your review a lot of mysteries must have been reviewed in the book. I would not be reading it.

This is definitely deep and emotional. I would have to brace myself for this. It seems interesting.

It’s fascinating to hear about Julia and Rose’s contrasting backgrounds and how they navigate such a pivotal era for women.

Dear catalysmicknight
I enjoyed your review of *Finding the Raven*! Your insights into Julia and Rose's dual narratives effectively highlight the struggles women faced in early 20th century St. Louis. The historical context you provided enriches our understanding of the characters’ journeys.

You successfully balanced plot and historical detail, which is challenging in historical fiction. Patty Dickson Pieczka seems to have woven a captivating story filled with intrigue, romance, and social commentary. Your mention of unexpected plot twists and immersive writing makes me eager to read it!

Thanks for sharing such an engaging review; it has piqued my interest in the book!
