"The character of Dorothea Brooke, a gifted woman whose gifts are thwarted by the possibilities available to her, yet who flourishes despite it because of the greatness of her character, the depiction of a woman of passion and intelligence, the tracing of disillusionment in love and marriage—Middlemarch accomplishes all this while creating a vivid world of politics, community, and landscape."

(3.5/5) This biographical, historical, women’s fiction novel is about the woman who loved the prolific Jack London, Charmian. Overshadowed by her famous husband, with her debut novel “The Secret Life of Mrs. London,” Rebecca Rosenberg brings her front and center. Take a look at my review of this novel here. https://tcl-bookreviews.com/2019/06/27/an-almost-famous-woman/

Powerful
As a woman, I cried when Diana walked through No Man’s Land after being told no. It was so powerful for me.

"[Woman on the Edge of Time] makes us feel both powerful enough and angry enough to do something about steering toward the more humane future."

"I have always been fascinated in the golden era of Hollywood and in Monroe — the star, the woman, the mystery surrounding her life and death."
