The Bath Comedy
The Bath Comedy is a sparkling Victorian satire set in the spa town of Bath, where wit, romance, and social games mix in a high-spirited mix of rivalries and alliances.

A vivid tour of Bath’s social whirl, from parlors to public spaces. Clever, humorous exchanges that reveal the fragile dynamics of relationships. A blend of romance, irony, and social satire that stays entertaining from start to finish. Ideal for readers who enjoy lively social satire, vivid setting, and clever banter about love and status in a bygone era.

I was a little disappointed because it was silly in places, and usually books by this couple get added to my favorites shelf. But it was still a fun story.
