“Superbly written…[and] simply stellar in every way…Everything in this resplendent romance is done to perfection.” — Booklist (starred review)

“Utterly charming and subtly subversive.” — Kirkus Reviews (starred review)

“[A] sweet lesbian Regency that deftly explores the rigid societal strictures imposed on women personally and professionally.” — Library Journal (starred review)

“Waite’s writing is gorgeous and always purposeful” — Bookpage

“Waite’s writing is often gorgeous and evocative” — Lamda Literary

“I found myself nearly racing to finish the book… Her character work in particular shines. All these people she creates stay in your imagination. Those characters live outside the page, leave a mark on the reader.” — The Lesbrary

“This superb novel, set during Regency times, unveils the love story between two intelligent women… Waite gives full voice to the unfair prejudice that women faced. She also provides a multi-ethnic Regency world that comes alive with scientific curiosity. Highly recommended for fans of both Remarkable Creatures and Gentleman Jack, this first in the Feminine Pursuits series deserves widespread attention.” — Historical Novels Review
