challenging emotional informative reflective sad medium-paced

It took me nearly two months to finish Romantic Outlaws, but I am so glad I persevered. The amount of research that Charlotte Gordon did is staggering (over fifty pages of notes!) - and it shows on every single page of this dual biography.

More to come later.
