But don’t worry, all the best-laid plans of beneficial social connections and cultural education go wrong, very quickly. With a game of strip poker, a little petty theft, piracy, the love that dare not speak its name, a sinking crypt, a secret and incurable illness, evilly plotting noblemen, and enough family secrets to fill two gothic novels, I was pretty sure this adventure story was actually about Lord Byron.
The twists and misadventures are half the fun of this novel, and the other half is the cutting, carefully-observed character description. Is there such thing as a Gothic Manners novel?
