I love these books. They're not intellectually nourishing, but they've been great travel reads. This one tries to take up the issue of race in Regency Era London, and while it's far from perfect, the author is clearly trying to make a point and I can appreciate that. Her work has so far been very attuned to women's rights and classism, and this seemed to parallel that trend.
