Thanks @AmyG for getting 2024 off to a cracking start. This is a real page turner. Amazing historical detail, characters who live off the page and a really compelling and compassionate story of survival, pain and hope. Loved it !

Not my typical historical fiction read but am so glad I read it! Well-paced and incredibly engaging… I didn‘t want it to end!

JenReadsAlot One of my favorite books this year actually! 5mo

The Devil's Half Acre: The Untold Story of How One Woman Liberated the South's Most Notorious Slave Jail | Kristen Green

Just about everything in this book fascinates me—including the absurd legalities/sensibilities of the time & how ppl can strip one another of their humanity even as they recognize that humanity. Also, Mary Lumpkin is a mighty woman. Friggin‘ made of steel.

Historical fiction centered around a theater fire in 1811 Richmond VA, and four peoples decisions around that event. Not typically a historical fiction fan, but i enjoyed this. #botm

Up next! My book club picks 3 genres every summer and this was the book for “Historical Fiction NOT Set During WWII.” I loved Florence Adler Swims Forever, so I‘m looking forward to this!

JenReadsAlot I loved that book so much! 9mo

Amiable Fabulous photo! And I also love the book club topic —a friend and I were just talking about how tired we are of WWll novels! 9mo

GinaKButler @Amiable Thank you! Yes, our group is tired of that genre…read too many and needed a break! 😊 9mo

GinaKButler @JenReadsAlot I‘m really enjoying it so far! 9mo
