I would recommend The Jackal’s Mistress to fans of historical fiction, for readers looking for a book with a strong female character, for readers who appreciate an understated, slow burn romantic element, and to readers who appreciate a story told from multiple points of view.

I recommend The Jackal’s Mistress to anyone who enjoys historical fiction. There are many other good books that look at some of the same issues, including Master Slave Husband Wife by Ilyon Woo. My book club loved it and we had a great discussion.

I would recommend this book to those who enjoy historical fiction especially with strong female characters who are dealing with complex issues and feelings about right and wrong. Other books suggestions that may be similar would be the House Girl by Tara Conklin and The invention of wings by Sue Monk Kidd
