Gentleman Jack: The Real Anne Lister by Anne Choma

informative fast-paced

5.0

Pleasantly surprised by how accurate the TV series turns out to have portrayed the real Anne Lister. By focusing on the part of Anne’s life that the first season portrays, this is a wonderful introduction to the real Anne before continuing with other biographies that tell more about the parts of her life that weren’t portrayed on screen.
