The Restless Republic: Britain without a Crown by Anna Keay
adventurous
informative
medium-paced
5.0
An exceptionally accessible history book. Really liked how we would visit a character, learn their history, stay with them a while, then move on, only to see them sometimes pop up later in the book. Made it much easier to follow the host of characters.
Learned a lot about how confusing and messy the republic was, how unguided and stumbling. Way more nuanced than “and then Cromwell won and was in charge for ten years.”
