Summer Reads 5: A Talent for Trouble by Anne Barbour

The Before:

Back cover uses the word "Ton" instead of London... This should have been my first warning.

The Feels:
None.

The Concerns:
Clearly Barbour needs to do some more research on the Regency Era. Yes, London is referred to as Town, but it's pretty rare to see it as ton. That's just stupid and annoying.

The male lead, whose name I can't remember and won't be bothered to look it up, chastises the female lead, Matilda or whatever, about her painting. When he finds out that she's good at painting, I kid you not, he says, "but you're a woman?" Women in the Regency Era were expected to know how to paint, especially in the upper class. That's a whole subplot in Austen's Emma. It was one of the few things women were allowed to do; that and draw. It would be like him saying, "WOW! You know how to read? But you're a woman."

DNF- Had to rage quit.
