*by J***. on Reviewed in India on 15 February 2019*

It is disappointing that Amazon can't afford a bookmark for a book worth almost 500 bucks. The book is good and worth reading

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A delightful and absorbing read
  

*by T***L on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 April 2019*

Georgina Howell's biography of the phenomenal Gertrude Bell is both a tour de force and a work of love. Diana Athill's review states that this book is "Riveting, few women have had a life more worth reading about" and this is by no means hyperbole.This was the first I'd heard of Gertrude Bell and I now find that fact in itself astonishing. It's hard not to think that her rightful place in history has been denied by misogyny, for had any man undertaken all she did and lived the life she had he would be a household name, along with her more renowned contemporary and colleague T.E. Lawrence. Popular history is certainlythe poorer for not including Gertrude.Her story is beautifully written, covering her childhood to her eventual death in her beloved Iraq. Using her many letters and diaries, as well as her own political writings one is able to both hear and feel this remarkable, passionate, bright and determined woman who carved out her very own unique place in the world at a time when women were popularly considered incapable of intelligent thought.I won't attempt to cover her story here, but I will wholeheartedly recommend this as an informative, delightful and absorbing read.
