A review by booklandish
Dangerous Women by Hope Adams, Hope Adams
4.0
105 days at sea...It is in that locked-boat situation that this story unfolds. Based on real facts, this fictional journey was inspiring. At its heart, it is a tale of second chances and redemption and found family. The murder mystery element was an interesting bit of suspense too! And of course, I was fascinated by the quilt, the patchwork piece which inspired the book. I found the writing a bit clumsy at times and guilty of "telling instead of showing", but not in a way that took me out of the story. It is a really enjoyable historical fiction that I devoured in 24 hours!
"The very act of coming together every single day, of sitting quietly, sewing, one next to another, of knowing that what they were achieving was something of beauty: that had made them more than a gathering of individual souls; that was what had transformed them into a sisterhood."
