The Ladies of Hanover Square reads as a type of historical romance novel. It is about three generations of women, all connected to the same families in one way or another.
It is about a beautiful, sweet, and kept woman who is used to using her cunning and beauty to get what she wants. It is about another woman who shows morality, honor, and strong passions kept in check by her dignity. It is also about another woman who grows up with a responsible parent of poor background, and a rich, uncaring parent with no thought of anyone but herself. It is about a family who is regarded as the center of rich and famous society who can do no wrong, yet has harbored some of the most evil and depraved men in their familial history, marked by eyes that change color and take on a different hue that depicts their animalistic and evil tendencies.
This story had some aspects I could have done without. It had some mildly vulgar scenarios; while none were too descriptive, it will offend some whose reading tastes are more refined and clean.
The author aimed to delve into many different types of characters: One of honor, one of opportunity, one whose heritage is evil but desires purity, and many in between. I enjoyed aspects of reading it, but could have done without explicit scenes, though they weren't long and very descriptive. If you like historical fiction, with a tinge or two of intrigue and the taboo, you may like this novel.
