donnaalward 's review for:
Bloomsbury Girls
by Natalie Jenner
After having read THE JANE AUSTEN SOCIETY, I was very much looking forward to Evie's story. I found so much more in the pages of BLOOMSBURY GIRLS. One of the things I love about historical fiction right now is the focus on women's stories - either stories that haven't been told, or stories that highlight women's triumphs over misogyny and discrimination. All three heroines were so different from each other! Grace's way was always to go along to get along. Vivien had the fiery spark of her temper, and Evie hid in her books, unsure of how to overcome her anger at being passed over simply because she was female. To see these three women come together and, with the help of some very well-placed friends, create the life of their dreams, was an utter joy.
