I did not anticipate the connection between Opaline and Martha, but once it was revealed, it all made sense.

I was really surprised to learn who Opaline's father was.

I was surprised to learn who Opaline’s biological father was.

Madame Bowen's enigmatic existence. She was my favorite character.

The 2 surprises were Opaline’s biological father and the Opaline - Martha connection - although the latter was hinted at before it was revealed.

To me the biggest surprise was the reveal of Opaline's biological Father.

Unfortunately, no. The plot and "twists" were obvious and I often felt like I was watching a Lifetime movie.

Opaline's father was the biggest surprise to me.

The connection between Opaline and Martha was a little surprising but Opaline’s biological father was the biggest surprise for me.

Yes! The Whole storyline about/with her "brother" Lyndon Carlisle and his behavior throughout the story.

I was surprised by the revelation of Lyndon's true relationship to Opaline, but I was more surprised by the hint in that scene that perhaps Lyndon & Armand were in cahoots, or at least that they knew each other. The whole Armand subplot was confusing--based on his suspiciously charming behavior when he met Opaline, and his caddish behavior when they later ran into each other in England & again in Dublin, his altruism in helping Opaline escape Paris never made sense to me. I just wish the author had been clearer about how Lyndon had become connected with both Armand and Ravel.

I was also surprised by the twist that Lyndon had been bribing Dr. Lynch every month for those 18 years. I mean, wasn't Lyndon trying to marry Opaline off as a way to improve their family finances? So where did the bribe money come from?
