Boudicca’s Daughter

“Boudicca's Daughter was everything I hoped it would be. Jam-packed full of pace, strength, and rage, it is unflinching in its portrayal of one of history's most infamous warriors and the daughters who followed in her shadow. Solina is the violent female character I want to read: complex, entangled in her thoughts and the brutal realities of her life, and bitingly fierce. Boudicca's Daughter has done a great service in our understanding of what a cruel and strange time it was to be a woman, of the incredible and devastating leadership of Boudicca, and has pulled off something precious and rare—managing to be both deeply historical and deeply modern at the same time. The world needs to devour this book. I tore through it.”
