A Little Trickerie
by Rosanna Pike
Genre: Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction
This sounded like something I would enjoy, a historical real with an unusual main character. I found it a somewhat strange read though, and really lost interest when the angel part started.
I really liked Tibb though, she was such a sad character and yet somehow she always seems to find a way through the tragedies that befall her. Its strange to think from today's POV how almost naive and ready to believe in anything people were then. I suppose they had so little control over their lives and families, that maybe it gave them some sense of control, of something that held order?
There were parts I enjoyed, the beginning was fascinating, and then when Tibb met Ivo that was different, I felt "with" them as they struggled to just get by in life, find food and shelter. Then the next characters Tibb meets, and her adventures, but I wasn't as connected with the story then, and the last third I really didn't enjoy.
Stars: Three, I did enjoy parts, mainly the first third, but its not a story I'd reread.
