The historicals are wonderful, and they aren't what they sound like - I think some people assume they're rather twee, Downton Abbey-type books, with the posh aristo investigating. In fact, they're so much better than that, but you might be better coming to them from the moderns - if you like this one, move on to Dandy!<br />Clothes In Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14680610242823846662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6129427507761315524.post-56490735258890585522014-05-09T09:12:24.230+01:002014-05-09T09:12:24.230+01:00Thanks Gabi - I just went over to your blog to tak...Thanks Gabi - I just went over to your blog to take a look, and really enjoyed the interview with Catriona McPherson.
