James Miranda Barry (Revised) | 
so-soThis novel is a fictional account of the life of James Miranda Barry, a doctor who had been a girl but lived as a man in the 1800s and was not what I had hoped it would be. The author focuses on the lack of choices a woman at the time had but I never got a sense of who Barry was or what he wanted. I think I should read one of his biographies instead. #mustacheonthecover #booked2021
charl08 I read one of the biographies but I'm not sure I ever got a sense of what JMB wanted - had to be so careful to preserve the mask. 3y
