A review by pbraue13
Mrs Jewell and the Wreck of the General Grant by Cristina Sanders

3.0

Based on a true event, this book is a classic "survival" story told from the perspective of a very resilient woman (a perspective you don't often see in literature like this). With the wonderful writing and the albeit slightly interesting premise based on a true event, I expected this to be an instant 5 stars, but sadly it's not for me. I just don't think that the event this book is based on yielded much in terms of creating an entire novel around it. It just didn't have the full magic for me - also a lot of clubbing seals and diarrhea so be forewarned! 3/5 stars!
