Unfortunately, this was a bit dry and very much framed by the biographer's opinions and interests. They mention sections of Anne Lister's diaries that remain uncoordinated, showing that the author used sources decoded by others and did not decide to decode herself and increase the resources at her disposal, which seems an odd decision. Similarly, the focus of many chapters being given to Anne's relationships makes Anne seem a bit one-dimensional, defined by others, and historical documents don't bear out this assumption. I would have loved to read more about Anne as a person and the events of her life outside the relationships she had.
Thos was very much a disappointment, even though I understood that Anne's diaries don't have the benefit of a screenwriter and producer, which helped bring them to life in the TV adaptation.
