Discussion Post: Perfidy and Perfection
Have you read Perfidy and Perfection by Kate Allan? What did you think?
At the time of Jane Austen, in the middle of England, in Middleton village, the rector's daughter keeps a shameful secret – she's a novelist.
Sophy Grantchester needs inspiration for her next book. It arrives in the form of her rakish cousin, Lord Hart. She writes him into her story – and unwittingly, her heart. He's surprised to fall for his poor and proper cousin but she can't be a wife – no man would tolerate her novel writing, especially not one who scorns the idea that a woman could write a book worth reading! But he's determined to win her – and resorts to devious means. She could have told him that trickery is no recipe for success in love…
Original hardcover: Published by Robert Hale, April 2006. ISBN 0709080166

I had the great pleasure of reading an early version of P&P and really liked Sophie.
I am so glad to see that she has finally been published as she is a character who sticks in the mind.
I'm hoping to get it when I'm paid next as my book budget got a little out of hand this month.
my best regards to kate.
