Book Review: Portrait of A Scotsman by Evie Dunmore

Published on by Celeste7 Comments

Today’s review is about PORTRAIT OF A SCOTSMAN by Evie Dunmore. It’s a historical romance set in 19th century England and Scotland. It was a time when women’s suffrage started taking the spotlight. Women had few rights and what rights they had essentially became null once married. This book explores autonomy, suffrage, and economic topics which remain relevant today.

Today’s review is about HER MAJESTY’S ROYAL COVEN by Juno Dawson. The premise of this book sounded interesting and I’d heard that there’s a good amount of LGBTQ representation. Unfortunately, the presentation fell flat for me for many reasons.
