Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“A full-blooded historical romp.” —Independent (London)
“A rollicking good read...A remarkable picture of a fascinating age.” —Daily Express (London)
“A vibrant coming of age story...ricochets with bawdy energy, witty observation, and rollicking pace between brothels, theaters, and the corridors of political power. Lots of fun.” —Easy Living
“Deviltry, debauchery, and desire reign supreme in volume one of this colorful Regency romp.” —Booklist
“Historian Rubenhold captures the end of the colorful, hard-living, hard-drinking Georgian age as it fades into the tender, sublime sensitivity of the Romantic era. The wonderfully authentic tone will captivate devotees of Walpole, Richardson, and Defoe.” —Library Journal
“Tantalizing.” —Kirkus Reviews
