(1736) Set in a time before the world was remade for Adam's arrival, this is the story of the princess Eovaai who is deceived by an evil counselor and loses her kingdom and very nearly her Virtue. It's a strange book that lurches from utopian treatise to Arabian Nights pastiche to amatory-fiction shenanigans, with occasional flashes of brilliance and humor (both intentional and un-) and a generous serving of WTF?!?
This is my March #DoubleSpin
I‘m posting one book a day from my massive collection. No description, no reason for why I want to read it.

#litsylove #litsyloveblitz My oldest letter to respond to is about 3 months back, but I have decided once again to send every LitsyLove member a postcard, so my letter writing will be further delayed. I'm happy with the idea, though, so hopefully this goes smoothly 😜

Thank you for organizing this again @MaleficentBookDragon
pickHow to you summarize a book that 1500+ p? Without spoiling anything? I went into this not knowing anything and I think that‘s a good idea.
One thing that‘s for sure, is that I won‘t look at a rake in the same way again. In romance novels/ movies that have this romantic air about them. After reading this, I know there‘s nothing romantic about them
And also, your true friends are the ones that stay with you in the hardest of times
