A Wild and True Relation by Kim Sherwood
Thank you Netgalley and Little, Brown Book Group UK for a copy for an unbiased review.
This is a book that ultimately will be enjoyed by many who like a certain style of historical fiction, and there undoubtedly be others who might struggle with it. I personally really enjoyed the book. I feel it did what I expected it to.
The descriptions were vivid, and the characters engaging throughout. It was a book that had a lot of scope and it did so unapologetically.
The whole premise was certainly interesting and although as with many books of this kind, perhaps not for the purists of historical events or people, I felt this book was able to show us women's voices that felt real to the events and time.
The only reason I have this at 4 stars and not the full 5 is it felt a little repetitive in relatively few instances. It was barely notable admittedly but it just shaved that star off for me. Others might be happy to give it 5 stars regardless.
If expansive History fiction focusing on the female voice is your thing, I'd highly recommend this.
4/5 stars 🌟
