OverviewWelcome to London's marriage season. Six high society women are preparing for the biggest moment of their lives: finding a suitable husband. But their stories aren't what you may have read in historic romances by Julia Quinn or Georgette Heyer. In The Game of Hearts, go behind the drawing-room door with history author Felicity Day and delve into the competitive world of love, scandal, and fortune. With shocking revelations about London's most eligible heiresses and the society they live in, you'll see British history and love stories from a whole new perspective. May the best lady win. For our six privileged debutantes, life wasn't like a Regency romance; they had to work for their happily ever after. Even if it meant competing with dozens of other women who want the same thing. By using the letters, diaries, and other confessions from our heroines, Felicity Day shares how they and many other Regency women combined attraction with practicality to navigate upper-class British society, known as the ton, and its courtship rituals. And with obstacles such as scandals, rakes, and social warfare, you'll discover how love and success may not always win, but perseverance shall. So if you liked historic women biographies like Jane Austen at Home, The Palace Papers, or A Room of Their Own, then you'll love The Game of Hearts.
