![]() My thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for an ARC in exchange for an honest review. ![]() I highly recommend this book to all lovers of historical fiction, especially European history, where the novel is very much based on fact. ![]() It gives us an insight to the talent and fortitude of this amazing family of bankers, a unity that still lasts today, centuries later. I found The First Mrs Rothschild to be a wonderful story, beautifully researched. As the tale unfolds of the rising financial dynasty that is created, we wonder at the strength of the woman, as the family rises out of the ghetto and takes control of the finances of Europe. Her journals tell the tale of the family, through the triumphs and tragedies, loves and losses.

It follows the narrative journals of Gutle Rothschild, who married fellow Frankfurt ghetto resident Meir Amschel Rothschild when she was just a teenager. The novel does span 80 years though, so we will forgive it. It's the type of book you can sit and read for hours, then find you've barely made any headway in it. It wasn't because it's a bad book, it certainly isn't, but it's solid and it seemed a lot longer than what the page count tells us.
