Description
Troy Chimneys by Margaret Kennedy is a Regency romance that turns its conventions on their head. Written in the style of private memoirs, this novel tells the story of Miles Lufton, a man torn between two selves: the man of feeling and the ruthless social climber. As Lufton navigates his way into love and power, the duel between his personalities threatens to undo him. Kennedy's ingenious construction, an epistolary pastiche of letters, journals, and "found" documents, makes the reader both detective and confidant. The result is a tragicomic confession that explores ambition, duplicity, and moral compromise. With its Austenian wit and satirical tone, Troy Chimneys offers a poignant portrayal of Regency style and modern themes.
