🕯When Secrets Bloom 📘New 5⭐️#BookReview "The novel is at its sharpest in the way it handles “the secret.” Every major character carries one... But Furstenberg never reduces these secrets to plot twists. They are social currency." Mybook.to/wsb #HistoricalFiction #WhatToReadWednesday

"A richly woven, quietly incendiary novel that treats history not as backdrop but as pressure. Patricia Furstenberg’s # WhenSecretsBloom enters 1463 Transylvania with the confidence of a writer who knows the terrain—political, cultural, spiritual." Mybook.to/wsb #historicalfiction #giftidea
