A review by sbones
The Hourglass Factory by Lucy Ribchester

4.0

This is really 4.5 stars it would have been 5 but it took me a while to get pulled in by the story. That said I really enjoyed this book once I was about 100 pages in and the characters developed and drew you in. Frankie George was a great character set against the backdrop of being a reporter in the time of the suffragettes and being torn in being herself and seeing it open up around her what theses women were fighting for. Ebony diamond the trapeze artist, tiger tamer and suffragette was also a great character who drives the plot towards the end and really feel that you would love to meet these women in real life. This was an enjoyable and informative read and the historical note at the end about the inspiration the writer had from various sources is great if you want further reading on a fascinating subject. I know I do. Read this you won’t be disappointed and I will definitely be reading another by this author
