Well written but I’m still struggling with the main character who seems to want to one-up everyone regardless of the damage she is causing. And I can’t forgive a mention of zips in 1789, 150 years or so before their invention and 50+ years before you could maybe get away with a mention at a huge stretch.

Every single woman in this book is pregnant either in wedlock or out of it. Every single one.

It’s a compelling story but the anachronisms are unfortunate and (sometimes) glaring. ‘Adrenaline’ is not easily forgiven in an 18th century setting 🙈 I’ve found with reading and writing historical fiction, it is always the throwaway small lines that trip people up.

Not sure how I feel about the main character or narrative voice yet. It feels historical....until it doesn't.
