The Worst Woman in London by Julia Bennet
5.0
The Worst Woman in London has made me sweat for the drama of ill-fated marriages, and swoon for friends turned lovers.
Brilliant still, amongst all the trappings and frippery of a Victorian romance, our intrepid couple are on their own journeys to personal freedom. For Francesca, she seeks independence by way of divorce from her straying husband. James is shaken from his 'heir' of complacency and questions the actual worth of an unearned lifestyle.
Together, they navigate manners, society, period typical gender and socioeconomic roles, and a friendship destined to be a grand love affair.
