"The Whip" by Karen Kondazian ****


  • Audiobook
  • Historical Fiction
  • US author
  • Originally published in 2012
  • Review:  A very good piece of historical fiction about Charlotte (Charley) Parkhurst, a well-known stagecoach driver.  The story conveys the difficulties which led to the gender deception in the first place, and the difficulties maintaining it over a lifetime.  The story immediately called to mind "Pope Joan" and "The Last Report From Little No Horse", both about women in the same position.  Very good read!
