Match BookThe Field of Wrongdoing
Lili St. Germain
2021 · 326 pages · Romance
How it reads
The Field of Wrongdoing is romance (dark romance, specifically), and its dominant mood is dark. It goes to difficult places and doesn't look away. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in several locations, in the present day, told in the first person by several narrators. Its central concerns are love, secrets and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 326 pages it's an ordinary novel's length. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
