Description

'Endlessly captivating' - Tracy Borman'Tantalising' - Gill Hornby'More scandal than Bridgerton's Lady Whistledown' - Helena KellyThe carriages have rolled back into town, cards of invitation are propped up on chimney-pieces, and match-making mamas are plotting their campaigns; Regency London's Bon Ton are all set for another season . . . Using diaries, letters and stories of scandal from the newspapers, author Felicity Day reveals the real women of the Regency world: their loves, their lives, their opinions and adventures.

She takes us behind drawing room doors and into high society ballrooms, following six leading ladies and their family, friends, and contemporaries as they move from matchmaking to matrimony and beyond.

Forget fiction, this is real-life Regency romance and it's even more enticing . . . The Game of Hearts is a candid, hitherto unseen insight into the competitive world of the Regency marriage mart; revealing real stories of rakish husbands and rich heiresses; and true tales of lost and long-lasting love.
