I'm a bit persnickety. It's completely possible that this would have earned a five star if the font hadn't been itty bitty. The detail and the breadth of knowledge out laid here met my expectations. The sentiments about prostitution at the end really struck a chord. If you like British history this will be an interesting read. It is not a romp.

The author has great talent, but like all short story collections some hit and some miss and I think it depends on the mood or the day which ones will do what. I found a bunch of them hit rather than missed, but it took a bit to figure out what the story was about.
