My one slight criticism was that I wondered if Sophia's attitudes might have been a tiny bit too modern at times, but then I remembered that her heroine was Aphra Behn and thought maybe not. Add in an intriguing male friend, some enjoyable overtones of Georgette Heyer, and the firmly historical setting of 18th century Bath and the Rising of 1715, which all mixed together make for a very enjoyable and pacy read. more t get her into a lot of trouble but also help to get her out of it. Sophia is headstrong, fearless and at times very reckless, qualities tha. The plot centres on a young girl in the early 18th century who is determined to escape her restrictive life and cruel father. Review 2: This was a crackingly exciting book that was quite difficult to tear myself away from at times. If your looking for a high action, sweeping-romance, you won't find it in this book, but a light, if somewhat lackluster, quick read.
At moments when I felt like swooning, she wasn't, and that kind of ruined the effect. It seemed like Sophia couldn't or wouldn't show any other emotion than that of defiance, even when the very nice and charming Mr.Charlston was trying to help her.
While I enjoyed it, it was a little too light at times.
