The BBC and HBO series Gentleman Jack brought Anne Lister to
international attention, awakening tremendous interest in her
diaries, which run to nearly five million and are partly written in
her secret code. They record in intimate detail Anne's intellectual
energy and her challenges to so many of society's expectations of
women at the time. In As Good as a Marriage, the sequel to Female
Fortune, Jill Liddington's edited transcriptions of the diaries
show us Anne from 1836-38. She guides the reader through life at
Shibden Hall after Anne's unconventional 'marriage' to wealthy
local heiress Ann Walker. The book explores the daily lives of
these two women, from convivial evenings together to her ruthless
pursuit of her own business and landowning ambitions. Yet the
diaries' coded passages also record tensions and quarrels, with Ann
Walker often in tears. Was their relationship really as fragile as
Anne's coded writing suggests? This question is at the heart of As
Good as a Marriage. -- .
