Inspired by an underwhelming list from Goodreads, this counts down a far superior list of the Top 50 books of the last 5 years (2020-2024).

★★★★☆ Set at the end of WWI, a novel about a group of British women and their shifting roles following the return of men from the war.

★★★☆☆ A rare ho-hum effort from an author I enjoy, Bardugo's novel of 16th century Spain struggles to blend history, fantasy, and romance.

★★★★☆ Inspired by historical events, a midwife in 1789 finds herself in the middle of both a murder and a rape investigation in her town.
