Gorgeous cast, confusing story
23 May 2020 | by cynthiacaton – See all my reviews

The cast and the scenery are gorgeous and compelling but the editing and story line are a mess. Having not read the book, and with the time line jumping, it is difficult to follow. It's unfortunate because it has everything going for it except coherent story telling.
