Eighteenth century women shipwrights. Fascinating history I had never heard of before.
Intriguing possible TBR fodder - the cover design is beautiful. Hard, as a costume/period snob, not to take a little exception to the glamour model and her fake eyelashes, in the trailer, but the subject matter is exotically interesting. If it's done without exotiCIZing the female characters, could be good stuff. Given that it's written by a woman of color (which is, sadly, almost surprising in this genre - though I have become a bit acquainted with Lisa Yarde's work online), hopes are high. Certainly the review is promising. And the research looks delicious.
Finally, an exploration of sibling marriage in history including a great look at the Ptolemies, in service of Nyki Blatchley's new fantasy, The Triarchy's Emissary.
