nessaf 's review for:
Mrs. Grant and Madame Jule
by Jennifer Chiaverini
I was just so frustrated by the time I finished this book - it often read like a history textbook and while I did enjoy learning more about the Grants and the civil war, the fiction aspect was mostly the romance of Ulyses and Julia (most of which felt very sappy), and very little focus on the relationship between Jules and Julia. Considering the description and the title focuses on Julia and June, this felt very misleading. I got hooked at the beginning because I wanted to learn more about Jule's story but instead I got so much on Julia (and I don't know how many times it was necessary to mention her bad eyesight) and I just was not a fan of her. By the last few chapters, I was skimming a lot and I'm relieved to be done.
