A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike
5.0
Longlisted - Women’s Prize for Fiction - 2025
What a complete romp of a novel! Fresh and unique.
Irreverent, compelling and relevant.
A stunning debut!
Inspired by a real-life woman known as the Holy Maid of Leominster who, like the main protagonist herself, engaged in fraud and ‘trickeries’
I simply adored Tibb Ingelby and her first person POV narration.
The author makes use of the commonality of our human experience - we all ultimately want the same basic things as Tibb - a roof over our heads, food in our stomach, to love and to be loved in return. Through the characters of Ivo and Ambrose timely themes of tolerance and acceptance are further explored.
I read this as an immersive read. The audio narration is exceptional adding to the theatrics of the medieval England setting.
