Her Father's Name gives an interesting insight into Marryat's and her contemporaries' views on society, marriage, and status. While influenced by earlier sensation novelists, it's a refreshing book, especially with the transnational setting.

I’m not sure how I ended up reading an 1870s (ultimately) romantic novel, but I did. Maybe one day I’ll grow up to be as ballsie as Leona, who is most confident in duelling, disguise, detective work, and takes no shit from anyone.
