There are some writers who can write the gamut, and after reading The Seventh Veil, Silvia Moreno-Garcia is clearly one of them. While I am more used to her gothic fiction, her diligent research and beautiful prose lead equally well to historical women’s fiction.

This book, even though told in part during biblical times, felt so very timely. In many ways, the through-line here, the degradation and depowering of women, is just as pertinent today as it was in 1950s Hollywood and even during the time of Princess Salome. Same story, centuries later.

While it took me a minute to understand the formatting (multiple rotating viewpoints) once I had an understanding of each of the pivotal characters, it was very easy to continue on. The pacing was terrific, the character development stellar and the attention to detail masterful.

🎧 This full cast audiobook feels like being immersed in the most picturesque of movies. While there are several perspectives, I never felt confused by who was narrating or which timeline we were in. I cannot recommend the audiobook enough or even better, pairing the physical book with the audio for an immersive experience.
