Advance Praise
"The still wild Lydia Bennet takes us on a romp of an adventure across the ocean to Rio where the Portuguese court is in exile. There she attracts the attention of the heir to the throne and... but you'll be getting no spoilers from me on that score. The novel is full of twists and turns and has a distinctly Georgian flavour, namedropping heroes of the Regency era (including Lord Byron, who else!) with gay abandon. There is excitement, danger, and, of course (we are in the Austen universe after all), Mr Darcy."
