I couldn’t say a bad word about Laura Shepherd-Robinson’s books even if I tried. They are complex, extremely well-researched and brilliant down to the last details. I would read her shopping list.

I love a good historical fiction book, and this one ticked all of the boxes. I’m not super familiar with the Georgian time period, but I truly felt transported back in time. There were a lot of underlying feminist themes throughout, and I enjoyed the two different narratives of the main characters (plus Pamela). I was hooked throughout, and felt satisfied with the ending (can’t be said for many similar books!). Despite the length, it never felt as though it dragged, and I had no clue what the ending was going to be.
