Description
Set in 17th-century England, Exit the Actress is a vivid and engaging novel about a young woman's rise to fame.
Nell Gwynn, a talented and witty actress, impresses the theatre's proprietors with her sparkle and charm, earning a place in the company and avoiding a life of prostitution. As she evolves from supporting roles to starring parts, Nell's life broadens, and she becomes embroiled in the world of Restoration England.
The story is told through a collection of voices from Nell's diary, playbills, letters, gossip columns, and home remedies, bringing to life her endearing and delightful journey as she captures the heart of Charles II. A rich and immersive tale of love, politics, and survival, Exit the Actress is a compelling read.
