pick#beautyinthorns #kateforsyth was fascinating The young women who fell in love and were in return deified in paint and discarded for the next pretty face; by the painters & artists of the Pre-Raphaelite era, delightfully written from perspective of these women. An era with early hints of the #suffragemovement, this books addresses the lack of education, safety and hygiene that women were subjected to along with the beauty standards of that time
pickHistoric fiction, meets fairytale, meets Fantasy all presented in a lyrical and meticulously researched passage. This book was so perfect that I simply am writing unable to find all the words to express how beautiful it is. In short, this book deserves every award it has won and more! #bittergreens #kateforsyth #rapunzel #historicfiction
pickOk, Kate Forsyth is officially one of my favourite authors of all time. She is an amazingly talented writer, who can just tell a bloody good story. Bitter Greens is a retelling of Rapunzel and it is hauntingly good. I love this book and I'm excited to read more from Kate Forsyth in the near future. 5/5. #kateforsyth #bittergreens #rapunzel
I'm definitely excited to read this book, I adore historical fiction and pre raphaelite art, and the faces behind the paintings, as it were. This one is of high interest because it focuses on the women involved in the lives of the artists. #historicalfiction #art #book #reader #bookgeek #booklover #bookblogger #booknerd #kateforsyth
