Having not read Pride and Prejudice or Meg Kerr’s previous novel “Experience” I did wonder if I would be completely lost during this story but it stood on its own well. I soon got the idea of who was who with the characters and this novel was mainly about Georgiana and her desire to marry of her choosing, not her guardians.

The story highlighted arranged marriages, how women of different class were treated, the complete lack of women’s worth and even compassion for one another.

The writing style plunged me straight into 19th century England and I loved the old world charm and morality.

There was plenty of bitchiness, scandal, anguish and a swoon worthy hero to keep me glued to the pages.

I’m now a Pride and Prejudice convertee and I’ll happily read more from Meg Kerr.

I received an ERC from the publisher via Netgalley. ( )
