The Emperor's Babe by Bernardine Evaristo

3.0

Bernardine Evaristo’s cutting and sharp wit shines through during The Emperor’s Babe and her ability to approach the past in a way that is relatable to the present day reader is second to none. There is no doubt this is an incredibly refreshing and fun read. In spite of this, however, and while I really appreciate what this book is doing, it wasn’t quite to my taste.
