If you're fascinated by the tumult of the French Revolution and enjoy a narrative that challenges the norms, "Desmond" by Charlotte Smith could be a gripping read for you. It's not just a love story; it's an ambitious crossover of fervent political critique and personal longing. Smith's unique perspective as a woman and a writer in the 18th century breathes life into themes of disenfranchisement, both in a political and domestic sense. This book may not only entertain but also enlighten you about the parallels between public authority and private oppression.

If you're a fan of historical fiction and family sagas set against a backdrop of opulence and decline, "Wentworth Hall" is for you. As you wander through its pages, the crumbling veneer of British aristocracy and the intoxicating whispers of scandal might just make you nostalgic for a world you've never experienced. Abby Grahame weaves a narrative that feels like a step back in time to an era where secrets were currency and appearances were everything.
