A review by shallihavemydwarf
Valiant Gentlemen by Sabina Murray

4.0

I must admit, I had no idea while reading this that Casement, Ward, Sarita et al. were real historical figures. I had pictured them as fictional creations experiencing historical events, and I wonder if/how knowledge of their historical counterparts would have coloured my reading.

I loved this book. The characters all truly popped, and I loved them all for their complications and flaws, even Ward.

This reminded me a great deal of A Gentleman in Moscow in it historical setting and contemplative style.
