Critical Evaluation
Critical Evaluation
This book is an excellent read for all ages. It tells a historically based story about how powerful women can be. Author Kate Quinn has other award-winning titles, but this one is extremely meaningful right now with everything that is going on. It can be difficult to find a book with strong lead women that doesn’t involve a love story, and this book does that.
