A review by kentcryptid
Dangerous Women by Adèle Geras, Hope Adams

2.5

I very much wanted this book to subvert Victorian tropes of class stereotypes, paternalism, punishment and religion, and it didn't do it. I found Kezia - effectively the main character, although the book contains other POVs - sanctimonious and infuriating, and I seriously question the way the book presents transportation as a positive for these women, who have been arrested for mostly very minor crimes.
