Brontë's Mistress by Finola Austin
3.0

If you are turned off by books that lack loveable characters, this book is not for you. Lydia Robinson is not a good person and she's an even worse mother. That being said, Finola Austin's portrayal of a narcissistic mother is very well done. She offers no excuses or explanations for Lydia's behavior, and yet, in her manner of writing, it is evident to the reader that Lydia is terrible and completely unaware and unapologetic for it.

I received a free digital ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thank you to NetGalley and Atria Books.
