Name and Fame - Adeline Sergeant - e-kniha

eBook: Set in Victorian London, ‘Name and Shame’ is an unashamed melodrama in its purest form. Following the fortunes of Alan and Lisette Walcott, alongside the adventures of Lettice Campion, this is a tale of deceived wives, attempted murder, secret identities, politics, and illegitimate children. Although the writing is taut and the plot full of twists and turns, Sergeant saves a few well-chosen words with which to take pot-shots at the role of women in Victorian society and the deplorable attitudes of the men around them. A rollicking read for those new to Sergeant’s work.
