Overview

If ignorance is bliss, then Miss Rosie Quimme must be the happiest woman in all 19th century England.

In this outrageously irreverent Victorian romp, naïve yet curious Rosie Quimme leaves the safety of her parents’ home for the first time, only to find herself swept into a world more scandalous than she could ever have imagined.

What begins as an innocent trip to visit relatives unravels when Rosie meets the provocative and mischievous Lady Harriet Farthingale and encounters a hedonistic underbelly of polite London society filled with daring deceptions, sensual revelations and sapphic assignations.

Harriet first awakens and then answers Rosie's curiosity about all matters carnal, and then unleashes her on an unsuspecting world.

Caught up in intrigues, cases of mistaken identity, and increasingly outrageous escapades, Rosie delivers an inadvertently smutty book reading to a horrified ladies’ social institution, narrowly escapes arrest at an underground lesbian nightclub, and rises to fresh heights of sensual delight on the back of a steam-powered mechanical horse.

But when Harriet and Rosie become salacious front-page news in the London press, Harriet’s long-suffering mother steps in to deliver a stinging chastisement that leaves both young ladies chastened and red-cheeked.

Humorous, historical and explicitly adult, The Misadventures of Rosie Quimme, told in her own voice, is perfect for readers who enjoy:

Erotic historical fiction with a humorous twist

Mischief, scandal and social subversion

Strong, unconventional female characters

Tales of sapphic rebellion and friends-to-lovers narratives
