A Little Trickerie
A Little Trickerie | Rosanna Pike
5 posts | 2 read | 5 to read
Born a vagabond, Tibb Ingleby has never had a roof of her own. But her mother has taught her that if you're not too bound by the Big Man's rules, there are many ways a woman can find shelter in this world. Now her ma is dead in a trick gone wrong and young Tibb is orphaned and alone. As she wends her way across the fields and forests of medieval England, Tibb will discover there are people who will care for her, as well as those who mean her harm. And there are a great many others who are prepared to believe just about anything. And so, when the opportunity presents itself to escape the shackles society has placed on them, Tibb and her new friends conjure an audacious plan- her greatest trickerie yet. But before they know it, their hoax takes on a life of its own, drawing crowds - and vengeful enemies - to their door...

Catching up with reviews so apologies in advance! 🤪

Book 7 #wpf25

I loved this, having not expected to, not being a huge fan of ‘Tudor‘ HF. That‘s all down to the MC, Tibb, who is innocent but wise and has the pottiest mouth.

This deceptively simple story covers all sorts of areas - queer love, religion, prejudice, grief and found family.

Definitely on my shortlist!

Ruthiella This is the book from the long list along with The Safekeep that I‘m definitely going to seek out and read. 2d
ChaoticMissAdventures Reading this now! I have struggled a bit to get into it but still have high hopes. 2d

I was dreading the ending for such an entertaining group of characters - but it was a happy one.
How lovely.

The two books I plan to read from this year‘s Women‘s Prize for Fiction longlist: A Little Trickerie by Rosanna Pike and Amma by Saraid de Silva.
A Little Trickerie came with a surprise: a signed edition!

CharlieBrookReads @Leoslittlebooklife I finished both of these this week. Both so good for very different reasons. I loved the writing style of Amma and I adored the character of Tibb in A Little Trickerie. ❤️❤️ 2w
Leoslittlebooklife @CharlieBrookReads I‘m halfway in Amma, liking it but not loving it. Somehow I keep comparing it to Brotherless Night (my fault) and missing the warm writing of that one. 2w
CharlieBrookReads @Leoslittlebooklife I get that. The author is a screenwriter which I feel like comes across in both a good way and possibly a bad way too in terms of getting that connection. It‘s quite a brief book too. Have you started A Little Trickerie yet? I know you will enjoy that one. 2w
Leoslittlebooklife @CharlieBrookReads Not yet. That‘s good to hear about it, Charlie! ❤️ 2w

Maria says, 'Well they were murdered in cold blood by somebody. I think we are joined in this country by pure evil, my friend' ....

Signor stops itching a moment and snaps, 'Ladies! Would you speak of those things which you understand, and leave the rest to us?'

Maria is puffing out her cheeks and I wonder if she might open her mouth and belch real fire.
