The Lady in Red: An Eighteenth-Century Tale of Sex, Scandal, and Divorce
LauraJ avatar reviewed on + 35 more book reviews


This is a fascinating account of a true divorce case in eighteenth-century England. The first half of the book is very engaging, but the second half lags a bit. I found myself skimming through some of the chapters that focused on their lives after the scandal, especially his. However, this is still a great read for anyone interested in 18th century history.
