I won't be able to leave a review for this book; I requested it in a past lifetime of my NetGalley use and it no longer fits with my reading interests. If I ever do end up reading it I'll come back and update this!

The Bastard was an historic novel that was a pleasant read. A young woman whose noble family flees the French Revolution. She intimately marries to save her family but flees her marriage after overhearing something and runs away stowing herself on a ship to America where she finds herself a prisoner of one of the officers. The plot was great too with more twists than I expected. Overall I really enjoyed this story and loved the way the characters relationships built slowly.

In trying to clear up my shelves, I can't find any sign I actually requested this book, or that any such request was granted. My apologies for not cleaning it up sooner.
