The Butcher's Hook

I had heard only great things about this book, and was really gripped by it for the most part. I found myself tuning out here and there and I wasn't fully committed to the world. Historical fiction is tough with me, I want just enough info to feel like I'm there but not so much that I feel like I'm reading a textbook about the era. I was super grateful to have read this on the Kindle as I found myself defining some of the historical items I didn't know. I wish the experience at the fair had been better described.
It's not perfect, but it's a damned good story. The Butcher's Hook is unlike anything I have ever read before. I will remember Anne and Fub and Mr. Onions for a very long time.
