Mistress of Nothing by Kate Pullinger is a historical fiction novel. I didn't like the title at all. So, that was a hard start for me. Titles are important to me, they are a framework, a place to start. And I didn't like this starting place. But I wa ...more

There was a lot going on in this book, too much really. I think some of the main characters took too much of a sideline to a few of the other characters and consequently none were really fleshed out and developed. And there was a lot of repetition. T ...more

This was a good read, with good twists and surprises. The main character, Laurel, is very believable and draws you in. But the crux of the story is a bit shaky. There is a big ask for the reader to suspend disbelief from a very high place. Too high. ...more
