My rating: 4 of 5 stars
In this captivating historical novella, narrated by Tony Award-winning actress Cynthia Erivo, New York Times best-selling author Patti Callahan Henry celebrates the life of Florence Nightingale, the mother of modern nursing and one of history's greatest heroines.
I'm on a Cynthia Erivo kick and had no idea she was an audiobook narrator!
I also had no idea Florence Nigh

Review: Dear Mrs. Bird
Dear Mrs. Bird by A.J. Pearce

Reread 11.20.2024 for book club

I liked this so much better the 2nd time! Audiobook was outstanding! It’s was so emotional.

Review: Bringing Down the Duke
Bringing Down the Duke by Evie Dunmore
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Suffragette, Annabelle, has an accidental encounter in Parliament Square with the Duke of Montgomery as she hands out leaflets supporting British women's right to vote. This chance meeting leads to a complicated association, with Annabelle making tough choices about her personal future.
I liked this - mixed late-19th century politics with historical figures (Queen Victoria) and a group of young women who are advocating for women's rights. Throw in a handsome, sexy Duke with eyes for a suffragette, and it was a heated, romantic, tense, satisfying coupling.
Last book finished in 2020.
