A review by trudecal
The Rose of Sebastopol by Katharine McMahon

3.0

This was up and down for me. In some chapters the writing was really beautiful, in others not so much. I probably had a tougher time with this because I found it hard to empathize with the main character/narrator, who's a classic "fainting couch" girl of the Victorian era. But McMahon's depiction of the Crimean War is wonderfully drawn.
