This one has it all,
By Emily (Yorkshire, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bride of Dreams (Audio Cassette)
This is definitely one of Hodge's better works. The history is less daunting in its complexity than in some of her earlier work. I have found some of her books off-putting when they become too much like an irrelevant history lesson, but this one does not fall into that trap. It manages to convey a very strong sense of period however and the accuracy is faultless. The story is particularly good in this one too, the main romance is surprising, and very lovely. My only quibble would be the lack of attention that is given to the romance for various reasons but this is only a very minor point. The scenes with Nelson and Lady Hamilton are a treat and if you enjoy Georgette Heyer you are bound to love this book.
