A review by aliciagriggs
The Botanist's Daughter by Kayte Nunn
reflective
medium-paced
3.5
I wasn't too struck with this book at first and nearly considered giving up, however, I'm glad I persisted because it did get better.
Turned out to be a very interesting book. My favourite character was Daisy - such strength, loyalty, and kindness.
Just a trigger warning note (don't read if you don't want a spoiler)
- the maid mentioned that a man tried to force himself on her. The man was not successful and the description of his attempt was not upsetting (for me). It made me anxious for a while after in case he became successful at a later date, so I checked different sources and my partner went through the book to check it was safe. It was in this regards, so I wanted to write this in case it eased someone else's mind.
