This is a novel about risk and dangerous liaisons in a time of Jacobite plots and Popish fears, when marriage was a market and sex a temptation fraught with danger. It is a witty, modern love story - set in 1711.

Review of 'The scandal of the season' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

I enjoyed learning the background about Alexander Pope and his associates, but what a labored work this was. Far, far too much narration and no living scenes or characters. I hope actual people in the 18th century weren't this bummed out by their ponderous daily existence.
