Microstories of normal people, pictures of another place and another age. The author is a good storyteller and the book is intriguing and compelling.
Highly recommended.
Many thanks to the publisher for this arc, all opinions are mine

A really interesting book. Non-fiction is not one of my strong suits, but the daily lives of ordinary people (and some extraordinary ones) throughout history linked to a single piece of land was an intriguing read. The book is like a long talk with a grandparent; a great way to learn about the history of a place.

Rating: 3.5/5

A slice of life book that details individual lives that come together to form a cohesive whole. I'm always interested in the novels that evoke the feelings, motions, monotony, etc. of daily life, and if you are too, then this book is for you.
