In many ways the years of the Regency were remarkably similar to our own – huge inequalities of wealth, political unrest, economic turmoil. In other ways they were completely different – the choices available to women of ‘quality’ were few, and unattractive; social rules and etiquette were restrictive, travel and communication slow. This charming, ‘traditional’ Regency Romance, which echoes the work of Georgette Heyer at her best, explores all of these similarities and differences through the experiences of one young lady in a Regency London full of character, humour and surprise.
