5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended, 10 April 2009
An exquisitely written portrait of a group of fascinating characters in this most fascinating period of history, plus the ideals and morals of a time quite unfamilar to ours and quite contradictory to how we behave in madern day, striking not only parralells but raising excellent questions and points about our own accepted form of society. Hallie weaves the story of the Worsley's through excellent and intense research really getting into the minds of each person and creating this wonderful style that's so accessible and reads like you are sitting pleasurably in front of the TV and she's telling all about it like your best friend would. This makes 'Lady Worsley's Whim' both highly recommended and marketable. It's a great achievement had had me constantly hooked and enthralled at the scandalous and salacious behaviour of those naughty, ever so naughty Georgian folk, who never seem to make me yearn for a more understanding and less pervasive and restricted social etiquette.
