Mehso-so

I hate to keep giving books a “meh” review, but this I found the plot of this novel derivative, and quite frankly not very well written. The protagonist, Mary Engle, has just taken a secretarial job with the Nettleton State Village for Feebleminded Women of Childbearing Age, which applies horrible eugenic principles virtually imprisoning the women, many of whom have no impairments. An interesting topic, I just wish it had been handled better.

Thank you @Born.A.Reader for my #fffs #FallingForFallSwap package! The reading journal is lovely and will be so fun to fill out. The novel looks really good, too - a perfect cozy fall read. April also approves of the package! It‘s her job to inspect anything that comes into my house 😆 #CatsOfLitsy

Thank you @Chrissyreadit and @Avanders for organizing!

Born.A.Reader I'm so delighted you like your gifts - and that your adorable inspector approves! 😍 2h

CHALLENGE: BLACK

FICTION - HISTORICAL FICTION - FANTASY

A rook was the beginning and the end for William Bellman.

Black was the color of the day for this book along with rooks, who according to the author never forget.

If you like dark theme, and you don't mind being told every detail of someone's life, you will enjoy this book.
