Helpful Score: 1
I loved this book! Not so much for the story of Nell Gwyn, actress and mistress to King Charles II but for the historical information of the Restoration era in England and for the creative way the novel was written.
Written in a diary form and interspersed with recipes, letters, advertisements, newspaper clippings and gossip columns. EXIT THE ACTRESS is an enjoyable read. I found the "mannerisms" of the theater crowd as well as the members of the royal court fascinating. The accounts of the plague and burning of London were also captivating.
Priya Parmar's style of writing is original and "refreshing," this book is a must read for all historical fiction lovers!
