You don’t absolutely need to have read Once Upon a Marquess before you read After the Wedding, but I think it does make the reading experience richer. But her best wasn’t quite enough, and After the Wedding is the story of Camilla, the sister who went to stay with their uncle when she was twelve and has not been seen or heard from since.

In Once Upon a Marquess, we met Judith, the oldest sister, who has been holding the family together as best she can. The rest of the disgraced Earl’s children were left to fend for themselves. The Earl was executed, and Anthony was transported to Australia, but he disappeared from the ship en route and was presumed dead.

This series centres around the Worth family, who fell from grace some nine years ago, when the Earl of Chatford and his oldest son, Anthony, were convicted of treason. She also writes an occasional music blog. Periodically, she want to review a book, but starting a fifth blog would be ridiculous, so here she is… Authors she loves to read include Lois McMaster Bujold, Connie Willis, Robin McKinley, Laura Florand, Megan Whalen Turner and Courtney Milan, but that’s really just the tip of the iceberg.

By night, she sings Bach and Brahms and other composers whose names do not start with B, bakes incessantly, worries about politics, reads as much escapist fiction as she can get her hands on (these two things are related), and writes three blogs - one about food, one about politics, and, most recently, one for short stories inspired by the Paris Metro. Is Courtney Milan capable of writing a bad book? No, but she’s trying new things, and while this isn’t her best work, it packs an emotional punch.
