The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister by Helena Whitbread, Anne Lister

4.0

Absolutely loving 'Gentleman Jack' at the moment so thought to read 'the original diaries' and wasn't disappointed. I did quite a bit of "research" before, so knew to expect some absolutely 'boring' parts about daily life in the early 1800s but it's so interesting how Anne Lister navigated her life as a complete oddity - I'm not sure if I'd have had the courage. What an impressive person, flaws and all!
