The Anarchist's Wife by Margo Laurie

4.5

challenging emotional sad tense medium-paced

---

This was an interesting read during a period of history that I am woefully ignorant of. It take place in the 1920s Boston area and tells the story of a group of anarchists from the perspective of one of their wives. I don’t remember learning about anarchists and this period of unrest in school. This author told this story from an fascinating and heart wrenching viewpoint of the wife of Mr. Sacco. It was quite a sad story from any perspective and it touched the lives of so many. The author wraps you into their lives from the beginning and adds interesting historical bits throughout. I thought this was a great historical fiction. The only reason I give it 4.5 stars instead of 5 is because I do not think it will be on my repeat read list. But, I thoroughly enjoyed reading this and would recommend it to any historical fiction fan.
