title: The Scandal of the Season: A Novel
author:  Sophie Gee 
description: "With passion and flair, <i>The Scandal of the Season</i> animates an intriguing period of literary history, fleshed out in fluid, intricate, and seductive writing. Every reader will enjoy the wit and subtlety in the novel's dangerous, delicate balance of eighteenth-century customs and transgressions. What a first impression! Sophie Gee's debut novel signals her unique expertise and a great career ahead."<br /> -- Matthew Pearl, author of <i>The Dante Club</i> and <i>The Poe Shadow</i><br /><br />"Sophie Gee's dazzling, sophisticated novel is a clever re-imagining of Alexander Pope's famous poem and a wildly entertaining tale in its own right. The romance and adventure of <i>The Scandal of the Season</i> will seduce readers from the first page."<br /> -- Amanda Foreman, author of <i>Georgiana: Duchess of Devonshire</i><br /><br />"A seduction reminiscent of <i>Dangerous Liaisons,</i> with the crackling historical mystery of <i>An Instance of the Fingerpost. The Scandal of the Season</i> captures the breezy poetic romance of <i>Shakespeare in Love,</i> recast to star Alexander Pope."<br /> -- Ian Caldwell, author of <i>The Rule of Four</i>
