Red Pottage by Mary Cholmondeley

4.0

OH. What a journey I’ve been on. This book had me laughing, gasping at the plot twists, and wishing I could strangle certain characters. I loved that the friendship between Rachel and Hester was at the heart of the book. (Though their devotion to each other was clear, I would not have complained if the book had contained more of them together.) I found the ending satisfying, though I feel the postscript tried to detract from its unconventionality. Let Rachel and Hester be old maids together!!!
