sennenrose 's review for:
I absolutely loved this - I’m an 18th century girl, I did my dissertation on the era, and it was really fun to see people who I had come across in my research crop up in this like David Garrick! I found it very easy to read, the gossipy bits punctuated by moments of real seriousness. The story of Jack Harris didn’t really interest me although I recognise it was important for context, but Sam Derrick and Charlotte Hayes gripped me. I loved Harlots - BRING BACK HARLOTS! - and the character of Charlotte Wells, and you can really see where they got certain inspirations for that character from Hayes. Being me, I loved the glimpses of the Charlotte and Dennis love story, where’s their romance novel! Ultimately though the subject of this book is something that is genuinely incredibly grim and as much fun I had reading this I’m going to be thinking and wondering about the fates of the women and girls who populated the list and never got biographies written about them for a long time.
