Royal Harlot is told by the most famous and longstanding mistress of King Charles II. It is a story of her life, and of his return to the throne.
I thought this book was very well written. The story was well told and historically accurate, and even better - so much fun to read!
Scott's portrayal of Barbara Villiers is much more sympathetic than most historians, and I appreciate her more feminist view.
A warning for those that are looking for G rated material...Like most historical fiction, Royal Harlot is full of sex. However, I didn't think it was overdone.
I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and am currently reading Duchess.
