Another great women loving women historical fiction novel is Islands of Mercy by Rose Tremain. The audiobook is narrated by the amazing Katie McGrath. The ebook can be found everywhere but the audiobook isn’t available in the United States. It has been put in a playlist on Spotify.
She was ‘The Angel of the Baths’, the one woman whose touch everybody yearned for. Yet she would do more. She was certain of that.
In the city of Bath, in the year 1865, an extraordinary young woman renowned for her nursing skills is convinced that some other destiny will one day show itself to her. But when she finds herself torn between a dangerous affair with a female lover and the promise of a conventional marriage to an apparently respectable doctor, her desires begin to lead her towards a future she had never imagined.
Meanwhile, on the wild island of Borneo, an eccentric British ‘rajah’, Sir Ralph Savage, overflowing with philanthropy but compromised by his passions, sees his schemes relentlessly undermined by his own fragility, by man’s innate greed and by the invasive power of the forest itself.
Jane’s quest for an altered life and Sir Ralph’s endeavours become locked together as the story journeys across the globe – from the confines of an English tearoom to the rainforests of a tropical island via the slums of Dublin and the transgressive fancy-dress boutiques of Paris.
Islands of Mercy is a novel that ignites the senses, and is a bold exploration of the human urge to seek places of sanctuary in a pitiless world.

Burn the House Down Playlists: The Arsonist
Whoops, forgot one of the playlists!
Everyone say hello to The Arsonist. I'm not going to spoil who it is, but this is the person who did the Thing. They burned the house down. Basically, a lot of songs about fire and burning things down. Very much a vibe.

I am Dark Matter
Your road to ruin
I am Dark Matter
I'm your undoing
Bring me your soul
Bring me your hate
In my name you will create
Bring me your fear
Bring me your pain
You will destroy in my name
Ugh, Les Friction is so cool. Anyway. Linking this here. For reasons.

Hello, all!
Thanks for checking out my page. I’m an avid reader and caffeine fueled ADHDer. I write fanfics for SwanQueen, Bering & Wells, SuperCorp, and many others. If you’d like to check out my work, I’m Harleychick91 on AO3 and FFN. So my page is full of book recommendations, fanfiction, and other ship related posts. Feel free to follow if that’s your thing!
If there’s a story you can’t get out or your head, I’m always open to fic requests. Send me a message if you’d like to brainstorm. I always give idea credit.
Thanks!
I’m slowly working on playlists for my top ships.

In my name you will create
Bring me your fear, bring me your pain
You will destroy in my name
