Berkley, 15 trade paper (368p) ISBN 978-1-98 A bright, penniless suffragette in Victorian-era England melts the heart of a notoriously icy duke in. but if you only dip your toe into this stuff here and there - this one is good and at least the cover is not crazy embarrassing to have laying around the house in front of young kids. THIS book was good though! Actually, the first 2/3rds of it I was loving it. Bringing Down the Duke is the story of brilliant but destitute Annabelle Archer, who receives a scholarship to be among the first women to study at Oxford, the details of which require her to recruit men of influence to support the women’s suffrage movement. This genre has a tough time balancing old school chivalry stuff with modern ideals that women are smart and kick ass - all without being super redundant in storyline. Samenvatting Recruiting men of influence to champion the rising womens suffrage movement of 1879 England, a daring Oxford rebel targets a cold and calculating duke before their unexpected romance threatens to upend the British social order. ![]() I still will read them, but its cringey sometimes. Anyway, I admit my snobbery sometimes gets stuck right at the cover of some of these books, as awful as that sounds. I like these books in-between the usual ones I read (lets face it SO MANY books are set during WWII which can get tiring, even though they are awesome, and I like non-fiction mixed in too and need a lighter read after some of those too). ![]() I like these books in-between the usual ones I read (lets face it SO MANY books are set during WWII which can get tiring, even though …more I'm with you. ![]()
