Critics Review
Praise for The Diamond of London
“Real-life Regency adventuress Lady Hester Stanhope may very well have been the prototype for every historical heroine who despises rules, rides astride, falls in love as she pleases, and courts adventure in ballrooms and battlefields alike—and Andrea Penrose brings her to glittering life in this well-penned historical debut. Hester bucks convention at every turn, rejecting marriage to become her Prime Minister uncle’s political hostess and take her place on the world stage, but war and heartbreak will force her to ask what future she really wants. The Diamond of London simply sparkles!” —Kate Quinn, New York Times Bestselling author of The Diamond Eye on The Diamond of London
“A fascinating and well-researched novel, delving into the intriguing and adventurous life of Lady Hester Stanhope. The Diamond of London brings the captivating, and sometimes scandalous, characters of the Regency era roaring to life—a truly dazzling read!” —Eliza Knight, USA Today and international bestselling author of Starring Adele Astaire on The Diamond of London
“Andrea Penrose’s impeccable research and attention to detail brings this unique and fascinating historical figure to sparkling life.” —Christine Wells, author of The Royal Windsor Secret
