With nothing left to lose, she and her sister, Louisa, flee to Lake Geneva with Adelaide’s lover, the infamous poet Julian Estes. There, Louisa hopes to persuade Bayard Sonnier—celebrated writer and her former lover—to advance Julian’s career. He is their last hope for salvation.

Talk about entangled relationships!!

This book is complicated, I won’t lie. The relationships going on and how they intertwine are very interesting. Ms. Chance’s writing flows well, too. For a book that’s well over 400 pages, spot on writing is a must. Like I said, the author nails it.

I liked how the characters are complicated and flawed. They’re creative, and creativity can be both a blessing and curse. I liked how they worked out their issues and found their ultimate endings. I won’t give anything away. You’ll have to read it for yourself. But if you want a book that’s got lots of parallels to Pride and Prejudice are fun.

If you want a book that’s intricate, fun and has unique parallels to historical events, then this might be the book for you.
