Description
A Woman of Opinion by Sean Lusk is a historical novel that tells the remarkable story of Mary Wortley Montagu, a pioneering writer, poet, and feminist who defied the conventions of her time. With wit, insight, and moving power, Lusk brings to life the extraordinary life of a woman who lived by her own rules.
From her celebrated poetry and articles advocating for equality, to her scandalous letters to powerful friends, Mary's life was marked by a desire for adventure, freedom, and love. Using her charm and connections, she engineered a job offer for her husband as ambassador to the Ottoman Empire, and it was there that she discovered the autonomous life she dreamed of. But her reputation was soon tainted by her outspoken opinions and her search for love and desire at all costs.
This is a triumph of vivid, exquisite, and enthralling storytelling, revealing a woman who was as charismatic as she was courageous. With prose of a spell-binding elegance and charm, Lusk conjures a portrait of Mary that is both captivating and revealing.
