The Women of Dauphine by Deb Jannerson
4.0
The Women of Dauphine may perhaps be the first fictional book i've read that recounts the adversities of those in the LGBTQIA community might have faced. I've avoided books like this as i found hit really close to home.
So, thank you so much to the publishers at NineStar Press for providing me with this ARC, also an opportunity for me to branch out into foreign genre.
It was horrifying to read the horror and humiliation that Cassie had to endure. There were so many wrongs and the book did well translating alarming realities through a near fantastical retelling.
The horrors documented was inspired from the truth, and i don't believe it's strayed far from it either, having knowledge said horrors is very much prevalent in real life.
I'm awfully proud of how the Cassie, as well as the other queer characters in the book, who remained strong despite the obstacles thrown at them. And Cassie being who she is so unabashedly is awe-inspiring.
There is authenticity in Cassie's story, and author Deb Jannnerson did wonderful job on creating a compelling narrative.
3.8 stars.
