nicnevin 's review for:

Gentleman Jack: A Biography of Anne Lister, Regency Landowner, Seducer and Secret Diarist by Katy Derbyshire, Angela Steidele

4.5

adventurous emotional informative reflective medium-paced

A fascinating peek into a queer world that people pretend did not exist back then. 

I am both inspired and a little repulsed by Anne Lister, mostly because she broke hearts constantly and then blamed all reaction on the poor girl.
