A review by jillmlong
Always the Courtesan by Emily E.K. Murdoch

2.0

Overall this book left me with so many questions that my head was spinning! The best part of this story was Honora/Hannah. She was a strong, self reliant woman who did not let her woeful situation change her morals or principles. I found Josiah to be immature and mean. He was nasty to the matchmaker and had no remorse. He never thought about the prostitutes as anything but women who wanted to be in a whore house. Why did we not find out what happened to Honora to make her end up there? What happened to her friends? I don't even want to mention the epilogue!
