I found the book a very interesting read. It may not tell us as much about the still remarkably secret life of Aphra Behn, but as a portrait of the age in which she lived it succeeds admirably.
For those who would like to know more about her contemporary and friend, we recommend [[Blazing Star: The Life and Times of John Wilmot, Earl of Rochester by Alexander Larman]]; and for another portrait of the era, [[London: A Social and Cultural History, 1550-1750 by Robert O Bucholz and Joseph P Ward]] will repay reading. We've also enjoyed [[A Man of Genius by Janet Todd]].
