“Bonnie” by Christina Schwarz

 

Thank you to Netgalley & Simon & Schuster for the opportunity to read & review this ARC.  

This is a fictional account of Bonnie Parker, better know as the better half of Bonnie & Clyde Barrow.  While many of the accounts in the book are actually true, it’s fiction due to the story narration where the author had to “fill in the blanks” so to speak of what Bonnie may have thought or said.  It’s clear the Author researched well, even down to the clothes Bonnie chose  to wear. You’ll find this book to be a quick easy read on the lives of Bonnie & Clyde, their love of family, their crime spree, and the fact that they knew the only way out would be death.

Bonnie hated the idea that people thought she smoked cigars (based upon this photo). A scene in the book explains how the picture came to be.
