Anyway let's talk about how Alice was a better husband to Fleetwood throughout that whole book. Every man in this is evil and should get hemorrhoids.

im a sucker for female friendship stories, especially ones where the two seemingly have nobody else and grow together, making their days less lonely and filled with light.
i generally disliked the male characters, and felt great sympathy for the women in this story. as is true for women at the time, the society they lived in cost them their lives.
the mix of fiction and historical fact in this book was really interesting, i enjoyed the way it was presented.
the writing style was really nice and easy to consume, i got thru this book really quickly and had no issues with understanding the story and its plot points
overall i was completely gripped by this story and was pleased with the ending
