A Place of Greater Safety by Hilary Mantel: Book Review


On My ShelvesJuly 14, 2024
Started: The started post on this blog is October 21, 2024, but that's actually misleading.  I got only a couple pages into this book, and then almost immediately decided that I wanted to knock a few of the smaller books off of my reading list before tackling this one.  (This was in anticipation of having to get rid of all my books before going back to America.)  So I didn't really start this book until December 2, after having finished The Moonstone by Wilkie Collins.

(This is my first time reading this book, so according to my new rules, I'm doing this as a video only review.) 



Links to things mentioned:

* If memory serves, the anecdote about Robespierre bouncing his godchild on his knee comes from Robespierre by S.L. Carson. My review here: https://youtu.be/NaBdoQC4ZHE
