The Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain

I’m normally a slow reader but loved this one so much I had finished it in a matter of days. Following 4-5 different interconnected storylines at a time you really get the feeling that you’re seeing all sides of the story.

This book is perfect for June as it has gay and lesbian queer representation!!  

My favourite character, Jane Adeane, is an unmarried feminist with a high sense of self and unmatched confidence. I loved following her story as she came into herself and lived the life she chose.
