Description

Intrigue, mystery and adventure interweave in this sensual historical romance. While history has unmasked the Scarlet Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian, mystery still surrounds another lesser-known hero, the Pink Carnation. In this refreshing historical romp - strong on history and romance - Eloise Kelly, 21st-century PhD candidate, sets about to reveal the true identity of that romantic figure. Through dogged determination, Eloise gains access to a treasure trove of letters and diaries, and slowly pieces together the truth. Narrator Kate Reading slips seamlessly between the diction of present and past. Her accomplished voicing, particularly in the novel-within-a-novel, wonderfully evokes both the streets of 1890s Paris rank with unimaginable muck and beautiful salons glittering with wealth. Reading handles secret assignations, gambling halls, gentlemen's clubs, passionate encounters, torture chambers and slimy villains with her usual expertise, adding lustre to author Lauren Willig's imaginative and intriguing take on the Napoleonic Era.
