It was so so so dry, and got worse as it went on

It got to the point where the author also appeared to be bored and was just copying the diary verbatim

If you are planning to watch the BBC dramatization of Anne Lister's life next year, you absolutely must read this biography. Even if you aren't planning to watch the series, you should definitely read this biography as Anne was fascinating, truly fascinating.

What a read. What a trove of research.

Regardless of what you think about the life of Anne Lister, this is so well put together. Whilst it initially felt disjointed and didn't flow. As I progressed through, it was so very carefully delivered, weaving in the detail from Lister's own diary.

Lister's life itself is so interesting as well, particularly her travels had me fascinated.

Anne Lister is fascinating (although not such a great person, it turns out), but this book is rather dull.

i really don’t enjoy Anne as a person but she was fucking fascinating. what a life. what a horrible person lmfao. i really did enjoy this though and i’m grateful for her and how fierce and comfortable she was in her “oddities”. idk, i can’t really put into words everything i felt through this book, i learned a lot. lets go lesbians!
