The Force of Such Beauty — Barbara Bourland. While her bodyguards are distracted, Princess Caroline quietly steals keys and drives right out of her palace. They bring her right back, of course, after she makes it as far as the airport. They always do.
Hello Cassie, circling back to say I just finished this book and am obsessed! Thank you so very much for the thoughtful and captivating review of this captivating (in so many senses!) book! It’s already inspired an upcoming essay on contemporary and Regency dreamworlds, nightmares, and how it all relates to our ideas of heroines and women’s lives, from Jane Austen’s Lizzy Bennet on. Grateful to you for so strongly highlighting this book which I would never have found! -Janet
