It's a decent book... it tends to ramble about unnecessary details a great deal, sometimes losing where you are in the story. There's an awful lot of bizarre sex scenes as well, that I think it could probably do without. Overall, the main storyline was actually quite good... if you could get past the other various details.

Epigraph

Dedication

To Louisa Rudeen with love-

from the lady who know her when . . .

First words

Valentina, Lady Barrows, knelt in the prayer beside her bridegroom's bier.

Quotations

(p. 54)

"To a lady residing at court:

Then this advice, fair creature, take from me.

Let none pluck fruit, unless he pluck the tree.

For if with one, with thousands thoul't turn whore.

Break ice in one place and it cracks the more."
