Why am I pining for The Girl in the Mask?
I've always been fascinated by girls born in an era so very different from our own. I can only faintly begin to imagine how terrible it must feel to have to act a certain way and to give up on every thing. I love a bit of history every now and again and that the story includes a female thief is a big plus for me, I love strong female characters. Girl power!(how old am I you might ask? LOL)
Synopsis borrowed from Goodreads:
Set in Georgian England, fifteen-year-old Sophia is trapped by the limitations of living in a man's world. Forced by her father to give up everything she loves, Sophia is ordered to make a new life in Bath. By day, she is trapped in the social whirl of balls and masquerades. By night, she secretly swaps her ball gowns for breeches, and turns to highway robbery to get her revenge . . . When one man begins to take a keen interest in her, Sophia must keep her distance, or risk unmasking her secret life.
