As well as Ms. Feather writes her Regency novels, this one of an earlier era (Cromwell, etc.) disappointed. The idea that a single young woman could be allowed to act as she does in this story is ludicrous. Women just weren't allowed much freedom in those days and this book falls down because of it. We need to keep a clear focus on how societal actions have changed from the medieval to the modern periods, so we can see how far (or not) we've travelled! Novels like this just muddy the picture.
