This is the first book that I've read by this author. I had high hopes because I read the column that she writes on new books in a Barnes and Noble newsletter that I receive. I picked this up at the library after reading the blurb on the back that described Harriet, a bored, widowed duchess who masquerades as a man in order to attend a "rollicking fete" without compromising her reputation. The event and its host bring her plenty of surprises, both good and bad. I enjoyed the descriptions of Harriet dressing in men's clothing and how much she enjoyed wearing pants, but the book was overly long and had a bit too much extraneous description for my taste. Parts of it were well done but other parts seemed rushed resulting in an uneven novel. 368 pages.
