Opinion is pretty divided on this book. Those readers who adore Georgette's historical romances loathe it because there aren't any characters in here that you can really root for and there's no romance in it. It is very well observed but it is downbeat and pessimistic about human nature. There is a rumor that Heyer wrote it to break a contract with her then publisher. I don't know about that but I think it would have worked. I admire this book very much but I don't reread it as often as I do her romances.
