I will not make 20 hrs but the gift of snow today has given me a day home to read this morning. So may be able to add a few more hours to my approx 9. About to finish Vanishing Thief, and hoping to start Queenie.

“Within the prevailing models of the human mind women were seen as somewhat less evolved than nmen and with a corresponding lack of rational control over their actions—barely protected from the underlying degeneracy by male control,especially over their sexuality...the criminal woman is a monster.”
Late 19th century attitudes “science” about women.
Loved The Broken Girls and The Sun Down Motel, but this book has been on my TBR for too long, even before I read the other two. Totally recommend #SimoneStJames #AugustAuthors
I finally finished this one early this week, at no fault of the book! I've just been too stressed to let myself sit with a book. But I really loved the characters in this. Nina is flawed, but in very relatable ways to me. And her family and friends pretty much all grew on me quickly ❤️ I do wonder at how different this book is from Other People's Houses. They don't seem like they were written by the same person at all!
