![A Mosaic of Wings by [Kimberly Duffy]](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51Kg6NBCvPL.jpg)
Here is the book summary:
It's
1885, and all Nora Shipley wants, now that she's graduating from Cornell University
as valedictorian of the entomology program, is to follow in her late father's
footsteps by getting her master's degree and taking over the scientific journal
he started. The only way to uphold her father's legacy is to win a scholarship,
so she joins a research expedition in Kodaikanal, India, to prove herself in
the field.
India isn't what she expects, though, and neither is the
rival classmate who accompanies her, Owen Epps. As her preconceptions of
India--and of Owen--fall away, she finds both far more captivating than she
expected. Forced by the expedition leader to stay at camp and illustrate exotic
butterflies the men of the team find without her, Nora befriends Sita, a young
Indian girl who has been dedicated to a goddess against her will.
In this spellbinding new land, Nora is soon faced with
impossible choices--between saving Sita and saving her career, and between what
she's always thought she wanted and the man she's come to love.
And now, my review:
I found A Mosaic of Wings by Kimberly Duffy to be a delightful
read. All about a woman back in the day
trying to accomplish what society said she can’t and shouldn’t. My heart was tugged at the loss of her father
who believed in her and encouraged her love of insects and learning. Her mother was sickly and remarried. This caused quite the stir in the story. This author does a great job at drawing you
in. I found myself cheering, angered,
and emotional with the characters.
That’s what makes a wonderfully penned story.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for my honest
review.
