Thoroughly enjoyed this book largely for the fantastic bold young female intellectual protagonist. Set in the late 19th century in Oxford when women still could not be a student of the University there, Rhiannon is a 3d female character and there's an interesting murder mystery to boot plus a good dose if historical details. Jolly Good Read.

Helen the Bassist
Helen the Bassist is on page 8 of 288 of Cunk on Everything: I'm going to be really annoying and quote bits! 😁

"The Anglo-Saxons didn't write much down because the Romans took all the pens with them when they left Britain..."

Ruth This one liked Helen the Bassist's review of Lessons in Chemistry:
Lessons in Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus
"An excellent book. Makes a massive feminist point without being 'preachy' and has some brilliant characters. Loved it."

Lovely observational detail in this quirky and humerous novel. Very enjoyable.
