Lady Emily is an interesting character in many respects. The romance has a bit of an ironic twist in this novel-even a woman who has all of the advantages of wealth and privilege still cannot marry for love: her hands are tied almost as firmly as a poor character who needs to save the family fortunes through marriage.
Reading this book made me want to learn more about these topics-I enjoy it when a fictional book leads to a desire to study the reality of the time period.
New to me, but fascinating, is an art society specifically for aristocracy, and while I have heard of them before, the Bow Street Runners gained some substance in my mind. The second book in the Lady Emily Capers has the title character as the focus, her investigative skills in use to solve her own mystery as she fights to choose the path of her own life.Īgain in this story, the Regency detail is outstanding, and I loved the appearance of conduct and etiquette books and that some of the Prince Regent’s excesses are mentioned.
