The Gentleman's Gambit
May. 10th, 2024 09:49 amI finished reading The Gentleman's Gambit by Evie Dunmore, a Victorian-era romance novel involving a Scottish suffragist and a Lebanese man trying to sneak artifacts in Britain back to his homeland. And overall? Had a most DELIGHTFUL time!!
( More detailed thoughts )
So basically had lots of fun and would high-key recommend to someone looking for a gentle read with some substance in the history/politics department. After reading Dykette I really needed something light on the mind, so this was perfect!
Since I told a friend of mine I'm getting into Regency/Victorian romance novels, she gave me a recommendation for an F/F one she knows of: Mortal Follies by Alexis Hall. It's regency-era but also has magic/fairies, and the POV is Puck (as in a Midsummer Night's Dream Puck) who flits around invisibly to observe things, so I'm not sure how I'll feel about the magical element... but I am definitely interested in F/F! We shall see
