A fabulous story and Rubenhold tells it beautifully
*Daily Telegraph*
Hallie Rubenhold is in a league of her own. She keeps you glued to
the very last page when, exhausted, exasperated and elated, you can
at last put the book down and get yourself some sleep.... Nothing
else in the genre is close to being this good
*Literary Review*
Deliciously lurid
*Sunday Times*
Hallie Rubenhold's account of the elopement is gripping but this is
far more than an 18th-century bodice-ripper. Rubenhold combines
narrative skill with historical expertise, and she traces the
knife-edge that women walked between social success and public
disgrace with subtlety and assurance
*Spectator*
A well-researched account... Highly diverting tale
*Daily Telegraph*
