The Playmaker by Thomas Keneally

4.0

Hm. I liked this book a lot, but I'm struggling to find the words to explain why.

Despite very little time being spent introducing them, I still found many of the characters fascinating. After finishing the book, I'm not quite sure if they are based on historical persons, or if they are made up, but strangely that doesn't bother me.

The small glimpses we got into the English criminal society at the time got me really curious, and I would love to read stories set in this world!
