Set
against the tumultuous end of 1820s London,
A Seditious Affair
turned out to be an utterly absorbing with
just
the right pace and the level of suspense that
kept me reading and reading, so
I could
barely
put down and finished it
in only a couple of days.
The
main characters grew on me quickly and I was rooting for them
throughout the story as they were such a fascinating pair of
contrasts that complement each other. Most importantly, however, they
were actually my age (why on Earth I expected them to be much
younger, I don’t know, but this age worked extremely well), and I
loved that!
On
top of everything, the writing was not just good, but beautiful –
and I may have to go (re)read some darn romantics now (even though
immersing too much the concepts of romanticism are not good for my
mental well-being, precisely
because I find them so very relatable.)
All
in all, A
Seditious Affair was
a captivating and wonderfully spun story with tangible sentiment and
vivid setting that engaged all senses and really brought the time,
place, and people to life. It was my first, but not last book by this
author. And really, why was I waiting so long? But better late than
never.
