🎙️THOUGHTS
I love historical fiction because I’m always learning something new. As someone who shares a birthday with Susan B Anthony (so I always thought we had that ✨connection, ya know) I thought I knew more than most about the women of this time period but boy was I wrong. I didn’t even know Anna Dickinson existed. To be such a strong woman, speaking out against the injustices of slavery at such a time is incredible. She was a renowned orator. And therefore she is ripe for the picking where assassins come to play. 

Julia Pennington (fictionalized for this story) became her companion, not of her free will, but in the end they fell in love. But as Anna is a Quaker and Julia comes from an irreputable family the balance is always slightly off. 

There is a plot line with a reporter that only listening to the audio I didn’t quite follow but that’s a me problem. This is why I usually read in immersion. 

I’m interested to see where the series goes! Book 2 is CENSORED ANGEL about Ida Craddock, a Victorian sex counselor ‼️
