Romance entwined with radical political discourse.

If you're fascinated by the tumult of the French Revolution and enjoy a narrative that challenges the norms, "Desmond" by Charlotte Smith could be a gripping read for you. It's not just a love story; it's an ambitious crossover of fervent political critique and personal longing. Smith's unique perspective as a woman and a writer in the 18th century breathes life into themes of disenfranchisement, both in a political and domestic sense. This book may not only entertain but also enlighten you about the parallels between public authority and private oppression.
