Recenzii

Praise for The Darling Strumpet: "Richly engaging portrait of the life and times of one of history's most appealing characters!" - Diana Gabaldon "Bawdy and poignant ... an ebullient page-turner!" - Leslie Carroll, author of Royal Affairs "Hard to resist this sort of seduction - a Nell Gwynn who pleasures the crowds upon the stages of London and the noblest men of England in their bedrooms. A vivid portrait of an age that makes our own seem prudish, told with verve, humour, pathos... and not a little eroticism." - C.C. Humphreys, Author of Jack Absolute "... an absolute triumph as a debut novel... The Darling Strumpet is an absolutely brilliant addition to the historical fiction genre and might be the best novel on Nell Gwynn ever... Nell would have applauded in approval and probably done a little jig to celebrate her tribute." - Kayla Posney, Pittsburgh Historical Fiction Examiner
