Everything is coming up carnations in this national
bestselling series
Realizing romantic heroes are a thing of the past, graduate
student Eloise Kelly is determined to focus on her work. Her
first stop: England, to finish her dissertation on the
English spies of the Napoleonic Wars, like the Scarlet
Pimpernel and the Purple Gentian.
But her greatest conquest is to reveal the most elusive spy
of them all, the dashing Pink Carnation. As she does, she
discovers something for the history books-a living,
breathing hero all her very own...
Lauren Willig's books are a delight and I am eagerly awaiting the next book in the series, The Mischief of Mistletoe, this November. If you haven't read her books, then this is your chance t get caught up before the lates books hits the shelves. (Joan Siegel 3:12pm October 12, 2010)
I was kind of wondering which Cambridge she was talking, but I'm guessing it's the original, on the other side of the pond? Especially the one in Massachusetts doesn't have too many cobblestones left!
However, I have read one of the earlier books in this series, and really enjoyed it, and will be picking the others up sooner or later, for future enjoyment!
Later,

I've read a couple of her books and I can't wait to read the rest! (Margay Roberge 3:47pm October 12, 2010)
I have a smile on my face from your travels on the tube in grad school. How do you stay upright when the train is lurching? I tend to take a few people down with me, making a soft cushion for my landing. Historical fiction is usually true to the period in dress, traditions and customs.

Lauren, I haven't had the pleasure of reading any of your books, but after reading your posting, I am hooked. I can;t wait to get my hands on your books. (Robin McKay 4:17pm October 12, 2010)
We do tend to make assumptions about the past. That is why I love to hear the not so distant past first hand from those who have lived it. (Mary Preston 6:12pm October 12, 2010)
Cambridge (MA) was bad enough in the winter; I can't imagine winter in the other Cambridge (University). (S Tieh 6:32pm October 12, 2010)
I've not read any of her books but would love to! Her books look great! (Brenda Rupp 10:18pm October 12, 2010)
I am so glad that you went to grad school!! Taking all of that knowledge, and using it with such expression is such a gift!! You have retained so much, and it makes for such interesting reading. Your added touches give it that extra "twist" to keep it anything but boring!! Congratulations, and thank you for deciding on choosing writing as your career.

Great post. Most interesting. "History as it should have been." It does add something to historical fiction. I have the first two books in the series and look forward to reading them all. (Patricia Barraclough 11:42pm October 12, 2010)
