I'd say it's depressing reading as well Dee :-( Don't know if I could read it myself. Hope you enjoy it, be interested to know when you are finished maybe write a little review on here :-) Pat x |

If so you may find mention of her in the Harris's List of Covent Garden Ladies (Sex in the City in Georgian Britain) It is a book I have just bought in my local supermarket, makes for fascinating reading ;-)) |
