Sherri’s comments from the Around the Year in 52 Books group.

I read The Last Mrs. Rothschild by Sara Aharoni, Yardeen Greenspan (Translator). It was set in 1770-1849 in Frankfurt Germany. It spoke of the politics during this time & rulers. I may be stretching here but it had a lot to do with religion. Also I figure this book is as close as I’ll get to filling this prompt.

I completed The First Mrs. Rothschild. I don't know if it can go anywhere or under any other tags but thought I'd put it out there. Thank You.
