I only finished this because I’m still desperately attempting to meet my 30 book challenge this year. I am suffering!
For some reason I thought this would be a historical critique of the upper classes? Turns out it actually romantises the ‘good ol’ days’ when you could have servants, assault your wife, and hit on your own child.
This book has so many villains and no consequences. My fault for not noticing the recommendation from the Duchess of Cornwall on the back ig
