Mrs. Martin’s Incomparable Adventure
Ratings6
Average rating4
I was drawn to this as something more lighthearted by the fun premise, and it was great to see two queer protagonists who are definitely old (the two leading ladies are 69 and 73). It is set in the 1860s but it just kind of acknowledges that homophobia played a part in the title character’s life but won’t be featured in this story (valid). There are a few heavier themes than I was initially expecting but they largely came with the age of the protagonists. Were all the hijinks entirely realistic? No. But I came here for petty revenge against the Terrible Nephew and it was a fun little novella.
