A review by readtotheend
The Trial of Mrs. Rhinelander by Denny S. Bryce

informative reflective tense medium-paced

3.75

I enjoyed this book but when I found out it was based on the actual Rhinelander vs. Rhinelander case from the 1920s, it blew my mind.  I'm thinking in particular about one courtroom scene and to find out that it was partially true was shocking! This historical fiction novel really brings to light the racism, colorism and classism of the time. It did have dual timelines and I preferred the 1920s and kept wanting to go back to that story.  This was great on audio.
