This may end being my first DNF…
I really did love The Frozen River by Ariel Lawhon, which is why I got this book. Knowing the nonfiction parts of historical fiction has become a sort-of obsession in recent years. I was looking forward to knowing the real Martha Ballard.
This book, though, is just very… expository.
