Book Reviews of Flashman's Lady
Book Review: A bit of a mess
Summary: 2 Stars
Unlike the earlier Flashman novels, Fraser tries a bit too hard when he decides to combine two fairly incongruent historical events, fighting pirates in Borneo with James Brooke and then ending up in the clutches of Madagascar's Queen Ranavalona I. (One of history's truly insane individuals that I was not acquainted with until reading this book) This one, as might be expected, is just a mess. Flashman on the run from cricket gambling thugs (Don't ask.) ends up halfway around the world as his wife has become the prey of an infatuated pirate. Gone is the semblance of reality often found in the other Flashman novels, instead we find a half baked plot, that lacks the focus of the novels I've previously read. Even for Flashman fans, this one could be missed with no problem.
