The Wet Nurse's Tale
The Wet Nurse's Tale | Erica Eisdorfer
8 posts | 8 read | 5 to read
A debut novel set in Victorian England with a delightfully cheeky heroine who will have everyone talking. Susan Rose is not your average Victorian heroine. She's promiscuous, lovable, plump, and scheming. Luckily for Susan, her big heart is covered by an equally big bosom, and her bosom is her fortune- for Susan becomes a professional wet nurse, like her mother before her, and she makes it her business to know all the intrigues and scandals that the upper crust would prefer to keep to themselves. When her own child is caught up in a family scandal, Susan must use all of her street smarts to rescue her baby from the powerful mistress of the house. The scheme she weaves is bold and daring, and could spell ruin if she fails-but Susan Rose has no intention of failing.

Here‘s my #BookReport - I finished 4 books this past week.
My favorite read was definitely Lydia Bird. Finished in 2 days. Lady Clementine wasn‘t my favorite by Marie Benedict.

In progress, I have Gideon and The Last Wish (in the mood for fantasy)

Up next, will be my pick for #LMPBC (The Five) and a book for #ReadingEurope2020

#WeeklyForecast

Cinfhen The Five is my IRL bookclub pick for May...I‘m looking forward to reading it 4y

This book was great! I wasn‘t sure what to expect or how the story was going to go, but I really enjoyed Susan. She was a great narrator, very practical and straightforward. She went through a lot and definitely had a tough life but she never let it break her. She was definitely different than other people of her time period. Great pick! #LMPBC

I should have this out on Saturday Chrissy!

Chrissyreadit I‘m so glad you liked it! 4y

Another devoured book. Susan was such a courageous heroine during an age where we normally only see the affluent ladies' points of view. Thank you for choosing this @Chrissyreadit @megnews @Laughterhp I will take it to the post office Tuesday.

This was my book choice for #LMPBC round 7, and I thought it would take longer to read- but I flew through it! I LOVED this book! The main character is perfect! Historical fiction about a strong, smart , sassy wet nurse. This is definitely a favorite of this year!

Crazeedi Sounds really good! 4y
Butterfinger Can't wait to read it. 4y
Lauraandherbooks I love everything historical, fiction, nonfiction whatever I love being in another era 😁 4y
