Book 93 of my 2024 Reading Challenge
read from November 16 - December 9
Good Wives: Image and Reality in the Lives of Women
in Northern New England, 1650 - 1750
by Laurel Thatcher Ulrich
My Opinion
2 stars
I know, I know, how am I going to complain about how dry this book was with a title like that? But the cover is beautiful and it's a thinnish book and I really thought it would read like engaging non-fiction. Unfortunately that wasn't the case and although there were pockets of interest, I found myself zoning out frequently while reading. I would not be able to pass a test on the information I just read.
So why 2 stars instead of 1? Because the book is well-researched and could be a good resource to someone. So it could have a purpose, just not in my casual reading.
