Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister by Anne Choma

4.0

Fascinated by Anne Lister, I had to read this book when I found out about it. Reading her journal entries were quite amazing, and the narration effectively frames Anne’s writings (without them I’d most likely get very confused). I only wish that the book had covered a bit more material that wasn’t covered in the Gentleman Jack tv show, but that’s to be expected since this is more of a companion book. I do feel like the ending was very rushed, I wanted to know more about Anne Lister and Ann Walker’s life together, and especially more information about how Anne died and how that effected the people around her. *sigh* guess I’m just doomed to reading her Wikipedia page over and over again.

Overall a quick, easy, engaging, and informative read. Would recommend.
