[quote=Anonymous]I'm reading Rhine Journey by Ann Schlee, which is a slow mover but really captures that feeling of being infantilized and held hostage as a single middle aged woman in the 19th c. Earlier this month I read The Gallows Pole by Benjamin Myers. I'm new-ish to Myers--this was my second of his--but he writes all sorts of different things, with this one being very different from the first one I read by him, which is called The Offing. The Gallows Pole is an obviously meticulously researched (though occasionally anachronistic) novel about a community of "coiners" in the moors and dales of North Yorkshire in the 18th century. Coiners clipped shavings off coins and turned them into counterfeit coins, and so it's part history and part intrigue of whether the king's exciseman is going to catch them or not. Rough and brutal and also apparently was turned into a BBC series.[/quote]
