Book Club Review of The Confessions of Frannie Langton
In February, Rebel Women Lit read The Confessions of Frannie Langton by Sara Collins. It’s been described, as a gothic, romance, and mystery novel, but we just think it’s a brilliant historical fiction that should replace every Jane Austen book on the CXC syllabus because more Caribbean people need to read it.
