Romance Historical
From London’s slums to its bawdy playhouses, The Darling
Strumpet transports the reader to the tumultuous world of
seventeenth-century England, charting the meteoric rise of
the dazzling Nell Gwynn, who captivates the heart of King
Charles II—and becomes one of the century’s most famous
courtesans. Witty and beautiful, Nell was born into poverty but is drawn
into the enthralling world of the theater, where her saucy
humor and sensuous charm earn her a place in the King’s
Company. As one of the first actresses in the newly-opened
playhouses, she catapults to fame, winning the affection of
legions of fans—and the heart of the most powerful man in
all of England, the King himself. Surrendering herself to
Charles, Nell will be forced to maneuver the ruthless and
shifting allegiances of the royal court—and discover a world
of decadence and passion she never imagined possible
