2/5. I’m obsessed with Julie d’Aubigny’s life and it was definitely interesting to learn more about her through reading this book. However, that’s all I felt this book did. The sense of story and character was lost to plain fact retelling. Her life was exciting but without any overarching plot there was nothing to pull you in. Her sense of self was lost to the romanticised idea of her, as someone unreachable and unknowable. While it’s a lovely idea, it’s not a character that feels human and relatable. There was nothing to connect with.

It was a good historical account but sadly not a good book.
