I received this book from NetGalley in exchange for a review here and on my blog Samwise Reviews. I was blown away by this book; I couldn't put it down and I read it in a single afternoon. I grew up in a city near Leslie Howard and I have been to Barkerville, but I had never heard of the Brideship Wives. I thought the story was fascinating and really well done, I was able to sink right into it and feel Charlotte's stress and uncertainty the whole way through. It has definitely made me interested in visiting some of the museums and historical sites relating to this topic, and I look forward to reading more pieces by her. I'm going to use this for the "Written by a Female Author" part of my 2020 reading challenge.
