Hooray and Hurrah!! Thanks Julie, for letting me know more about this, via the link I got from the review in TLS newsletter. I am so pleased because I know over and over again you have recommended The Gentleman’s Daughter!! Great to read this review, and it does sound marvellous, will try and get hold of it. It is great also to know there are authors with such a commitment to the validity of history and the text.

I'm sure Professor Vickery will be pleased. As you know I've always thought The Gentleman's Daughter should be required reading for lovers of Austen. I add Behind Closed Doors to that list. I spoke to her via email this morning as she has very kindly linked this blog from her website. I'm very touched and grateful.

Thanks! I am enjoying it very much and I like the depth of the material which Vickery covers; I will certainly be buying more of her books, “Behind Closed Doors” is next.

The Gentleman’s Daughter is quite a difficult read-especially the introduction.,but it is worth it ,so do persevere .I love that book,and have it near to my computer all the time.
