The cover of this book is so stunning. That turquoise colour is just everything.
Set over a period of just over 100 years and based on one house in Edinburgh and the women who lived there, 25 Library Terrace is a beautiful tale that will capture your heart.
I love stories with strong feminist undertones, and this book really scratched that itch. I've never heard of the women's census protest before, but I'm so glad it happened. What a fantastic way to stand up to the patriarchy!
I don't think there was a character in this that I didn't absolutely adore. They were all so well written and I wish I knew them in real life. I can't imagine a more perfect place to live than Library Terrace! There was so much life and history in the pages, and a reminder of how fascinating the census can be.
This book has filled my heart, restored my soul and reminded me that I want to research the history of who lived in my house. I know it was built for the factory workers at the famous Huntley and Palmer biscuit factory around the turn of the last century. But that's all I know. I wonder how many people lived here at any one time. It feels cramped with 3 these days.
I've also never had parkin before, but I think I'll be adding the ingredients to my next shopping list. All in the name of research of course!
