(MMKaye was my big “she researched so much” writer as a teen, but her work is inherently colonialist and while she does dive into the messiness at times, it was often with mixed results that gave her white English & American characters more complexity than the PoC folks around them.)

A great oldie #romantic-historical. By the great #MMKaye. If you want to sink your teeth into a #novel that has great #historical impact then try to find this one in your second-hand-bookstore. #TradeWinds. One of my all-time favourites.

Oh covid sounds horrible, hope you get rest and uninterrupted time to recover. Sometimes when sick I find it comforting to skim through well-worn crime+travel books with HEA set in olden times like Elizabeth Peters or MMKaye. Good luck 🙏
