Sex, Scandal on the Road to Buckingham Palace
This book is an exploration of the history of London’s most sought-after address revealing live of notable figures from the past and present, including royals and political leaders….
Juicy London gossip, social insight fulling tabloids and a delicious romp through British history combining historical accounts with scandalous tidbits. Eaton Square is the largest residential garden square in London located in London’s Belgravia district and is one of the most expensive places to live.
My thoughts will be short and sweet.
For those interested in London’s history ranging from the 1600s to present time written in a clear language, this book could be incredibly interesting. For those like myself a North American (Canadian) not so much. Most people mentioned I had no idea who they were and cared even less.
I struggled with this book and the style. It seemed at times the author was losing focus and babbled (he wasn’t really), eventually I had to drop this and close the book.
Although, if you are an historian or a British aficionado looking for a fun glimpse of people who live in Eaton Square, this book may be for you.
I sadly join those who said that they were not the target audience for this book.
I’d like to thank NetGalley and St. Martin’s Press for granting me access to this ARC.
