A historical fiction about one of the most famous of Charles II mistresses, Nell Gwynne. This was a beautifully written account, putting the reader into the real political situation of the time. At the same time it is a romance between two unlikely individuals and how they can relate to each other. Diane Haeger paints a picture of a woman who ventures forth giving her body to three different men after swearing to never be a whore. The last one, the king, she falls in love with, yet she needs to be realistic about knowing that she won't be the only woman in his life, though she has his love.
