I think Cedric wants to read this one now that I‘m done with it because he‘s a very smart kitty 😂Seriously, everyone should want to read this one. I don‘t know why Sarah Waters doesn‘t have more buzz, I haven‘t enjoyed a book this much in ages!

I absolutely loved this book. I'm so glad that I finally read it. Edward Dantes is wrongfully thrown in prison, but after almost 2 decades, he escapes. He then finds hidden treasure and then goes after the people who wronged him 🖤

What a gorgeous book but so heartbreaking too, particularly as it is based on real testimonies.

Francisco‘s father is arrested on false corruption charges and is imprisoned. In #bolivia families often stay in the prisons too so 17 year old Francisco and his young sister live there with their father.

Thank you so much for sending this to me Barbara - I really appreciate you thinking of me!

squirrelbrain I am using this for #quietya for #booked2023 but, of course, it would also work for #wronglyincarceratedmaincharacter. I have this book instead for that prompt. @Cinfhen @BarbaraTheBibliophage @alisiakae 2y
Cinfhen This book works for so many prompts!! It really was heartbreaking 💔 2y
BarbaraBB Glad you loved it too. I have been using it for the same prompt and was wondering about the prison prompt. But I do have Carlotta too so thanks for the suggestion! 2y
Librarybelle Yay for all of the prompts! 2y

13/23 This was our Feb bookclub pick & although I would never usually pick it up (I actively avoid historical fiction & fiction about childbirth) I really enjoyed it- that‘s why I love my bookclub! Great for a discussion around power dynamics & what has/hasn‘t changed since the 1600‘s! It‘s also based on real people (painting of the main character and her mother above) Using for #booked2023 #wronglyincarceratedmaincharacter

Cinfhen Ohhhh, I‘m intrigued 2y
Magpiegem It is based around the pendal which trials but looking at it from a noblewoman‘s POV. I love it when you can look at photos of the real people and places! 2y

Historical fiction set in Australia centered around the stories of two female convicts transported from England and one Aboriginal girl who is taken from her home on the careless whim of another. Their stories are harsh but I found the book so ensnaring I could not even put it down to eat.
