A fun novel based in late 18th century London, relating the life and loves of Nancy, the meandering lesbian! You really get a sense of the times, from the descriptions of the streets, homes, and gay bars, to the antiquated language. I especially enjoyed the accounts of the theaters, which appeared to be particularly well-researched. While the plot is pretty predictable, the lesbian spin made it different. Not great, but definitely readable.
