so-soIt was an interesting premise based on Margaret Cavendish (who I didn't know before this), but this book, written in vignettes, did not manage to hold my attention throughout.

Hello. After months of- perhaps close to a year -of not being able to sign on to Litsy. After many frustrating attempts I broke down and just created a whole new profile. Which sucks because all the people I followed, all the content created is gone. Anyway - here‘s to 2024 hopefully working out on here and to be back to building up the great community here I had before. 🫶
I am posting one book per day from my extensive to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new. Don‘t judge me - I have a lot of books. Join in if you want!

pickThis is basically a fresh look at the Stuart dynasty. The 17th century really was a tumultuous time for England, Scotland and Ireland. The author really digs into the details of religious strife and social upheaval. There‘s plague! There‘s fire! And that‘s just 1666! If you want to know the difference between the Protectorate and the Glorious Revolution this book will set you straight! 🍊👑🔥🐀

All either 4.75 or 5 stars.
pickA very good historical novel. Lots of detail but compelling characters. I liked the matter-of-fact and highly competent Jayne, as well as her mum and Lady Stickland. This was a big book but the story moved at a good pace, with the right mix of drama and quieter scenes. And as far as I know, it‘s a stand-alone novel, making it a satisfying one-time read for those with too many series on the go.
