Booth by Karen Joy Fowler
4.0
4⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. I ate this up. This is one of the most beautiful hardcovers I own (and signed!!!), but I listened to this on audio because sometimes I do better when a narrator keeps things moving for me and I could tell this one didn’t have an abundance of dialogue. I also think if you’re not into American history/civil war history that this probably won’t hit for you, but if you like biographic historical fiction this will be your bag. It’s the story of John Wilkes Booth (who assassinated Abe Lincoln) told from the POV of all of his siblings. I thought it was REALLY well done.
