Had a great time @ToppingsBath last night talking to @theZHM about her brilliant, eye-opening book Courting Disaster. If you're interested in eighteenth century novels you have to read it.

'Rarely have the novels of two centuries ago so jumped off the page and into our lives as in Courting Disaster.' - @devoneylooser
In her debut book, @theZHM reads between the lines of Regency romances to unveil a quiet feminist movement that still resonates today. Coming soon!
