Out the gate, this bored me to tears, but I didn‘t want to bail on my first read of 2026. The mystery could not sustain the glacial pace, but my biggest gripe was the dialogue. It does not convey 1700s which took away historical authenticity for me. The Author‘s Note was really needed at the front, not the end. I could‘ve grabbed a Martha Ballard biography instead. I used to love historical fiction, but it has become my least fave genre.

KatabasisSamAnne Okay thank you. I also really had issues with this book. Everyone around me seemed to love it. I did not. 1d
britt_brooke @KT1432 Seems a very small portion feel this way! 😂 20h
britt_brooke @BarbaraBB I‘m not even trying that one. 🤣 I loved Yellowface, but struggled to get through Babel. The writing was really good, but it dragged on and on. And on. 20h
britt_brooke @SamAnne You, me, and @TheBookHippie are the outliers! 😆♥️ 20h
TheBookHippie @SamAnne right?! No. Just no. 19h
SamAnne @britt_brooke @TheBookHippie I‘ve forgotten many of reasons I hated this book I do remember loathing the stilted writing of the relationship between the main character and her husband. I found it so trite! 15h
TheBookHippie @SamAnne 💯 15h
