…and came away wildly frustrated that nobody milked that poor fucking cow!
The medieval chapters were among the best historical fiction I’ve ever read. I found myself frustrated with the present day chapters because I was dying to get back to the 14th century.
I felt that there was a lot of repetition in the present day part, which probably contributed to the frustration. I stuck it out though since the other half was so rich.
Gonna ask my therapist why I was so much more upset about the cow than the people literally dying of the plague.
I last read it in the early 2000s, I’m going to have to reread with that in mind. Especially since I’m currently making my way through blackout/all clear and loving it.
