I’d never heard of Martha Ballard before this book, but it’s so fascinating to me that we have historical records of people who lived so many centuries ago. This was an intricate historical fiction story. Slow-paced and LOTS of characters to keep track of, but kept my interest. My favorite part was when Martha sliced off North’s dick. JUSTICE! Overall, a good read, and I might check out some of the author’s other works.
