The Heiress: The Revelations of Anne de Bourgh by Molly Greeley
3.0
3.5 stars
A beautiful story of a woman coming of age. A very unique, if meandering at times, study of the struggles of a woman in the Regency Era.
This book reminded me a lot of Elizabeth Gilbert’s “The Signature of All Things” and I enjoyed it much in the same lovely, though not necessarily overly-excited, way.
The mid-range rating stems from the fact that the story felt relatively low-stakes and Anne’s desperation was never conveyed quite as visceral as I think it must have been for her.
