The Orphanmaster: A Novel of Early Manhattan by Jean Zimmerman

2.0

I though about quitting this book multiple times. It was described as a historical romantic thriller. It was not romantic and mostly too long and clunky. The historical time period was unique, which is why I’m giving it 2 stars instead of 1. Just a totally skippable book that I waited 8 years to read.
trigger warnings: cannibalism, child rape and murder, Eurocentric views-“the natives are savages”
