violsva: The words "towsell-mowsell on a sopha"; a reference to The Comfortable Courtesan (towsell-mowsell)

I have been working on the assumption that everyone who follows me here already knows this, but of course that may not be true:

The first volume of those memoirs I have been fanning over for 2+ years is now available in forms suited to several e-readers and also as a pretty bound volume HERE.

It is amazing. It is the memoirs of a very selective English courtesan of the early 19th century, with lovely setpieces, tangled intrigues, a wide range of realistically complicated characters, and a beautiful and perfectly fitted narrative voice. It also contains Utilitarian philosophers, historically accurate diversity, polyamory, Sapphistry (and sodomy), useful precepts for novices, and a wombatt.

It has been making me consistently happy for almost three years now. I love it so much.
