An impressive debut Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity: Including an account of the unnatural tendencies arising on the over-stimulation of the mind of a lady by Suzanne Moss was everything I hoped it would be. A true historical romance in every sense. Intelligently written with a keen knowledge of the sensibilities of the period. The […]
