Description
This love letter to 18th century England tells the story of Hugh Entwistle, a young man awakening to himself and his world. A manuscript from an old family trunk reveals his journey as he navigates his sexuality and the tumultuous year of 1768.
Set against the backdrop of Georgian England's social hierarchy, Hugh's summer at his country estate becomes a hilarious and heart-breaking exploration of identity and freedom. With wit and charm, he must redefine the rules of the game to find his place in a world where liberty is a luxury.
This novel paints a sprawling canvas of 18th century England, full of intrigue, absurdity, and the search for self-discovery.
