Rating: Summary: Romance set in London 1665 Review: If you read Regency Romances then this book might be of interest. It gives historical background to the way life was in 1665 and from it you can see how life developed into the regency time period. It happens to include both the plague and the great fire of London. An English author, I happen to like the way all women are still referred to as Mistress. Also you, your, thee, thou and thy are treated interchangably at this time period. An interesting book in its own right, interesting and accurate use of language and a well researched history lesson in its own way.If you like this autor try Alice Chetwynd Ley as well.
