Ready to return this book I decided to read the review to see why we bought it! The beginning is poorly written romance but the review promises better in the second half courtroom drama so I may try to finish it. The story is based on a true event from the early 1900's and the beginnings of the suffrage movement. I skimmed to the end, never radically improved if interested flip to the ending and read the newspaper accounts. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Based on actual events, Anna Dotson is a passionate modern woman of the 1900s who finds herself stifled by the lingering outdated rules of Victorian society. When her every attempt to rekindle romance and affection with her husband--a prominent local doctor--fails, she finds herself turning to the friendship of Charlie Cobb, a new man in town. But as their relationship becomes more intimate, smalltown tongues start wagging, and their starcrossed affair leads to a shocking public murder. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

When Charlie Cobb and his family moved to town, he began working at the local barbershop and quickly became Walter Dotson’s favorite barber. It isn’t long before the flirtations between Charlie and Anna spiral into a full-blown affair. They are both so consumed by the affair and finding ways to be together they fail to recognize the whispers, quiet nods, and gossip, that eventually reach Walter. With her adulterous behavior exposed, Anna confessed her actions to her husband and then at his behest, to her brother. What follows is a crime that rocked the small Tennessee community to its core and a controversial verdict that would ultimately play a roll in the women’s rights movement.
Masterfully weaving fact with fiction, Kip Gayden has crafted a wonderful novel that brings the characters to life and gives the reader a front row seat in the private lives of people that lived almost a hundred years ago. Gayden has the ability to take the reader back in time and present a believable story, that is informative and entertaining. Threading the women’s suffrage movement into the story at the onset puts the reader into the mindset of the era…painting a detailed picture of Anna Dotson’s daily life and the importance of women’s rights.
A tragic, beautifully delivered historical novel that was a real pleasure to read. I look forward to reading Kip Gayden’s next novel. Miscarriage of Justice: A Novel has a wonderful combination of everything, true crime, romance, deceit, adultery, and historical fiction.
Happy Reading! ( )
