★☆☆☆☆
An interesting premise, but poorly written.
Penned tells her story through three first-person accounts. Two of the women live in the end of the 18th century, while the modern narrator lives in 2021. We also meet a husband and a librarian. One problem is that all the characters speak alike. Even more problematical is that nothing they say seems to come from a real person. The book reads like a second-rate romance paperback that you find on s drugstore shelf.
This is a first novel. Let's hope that Penned acquires more skill in her future work. This one is a total disappointment.
