A Factory of Cunning
of Philippa Stockley (Goodreads Author)
Description
Set in late eighteenth-century England, Philippa Stockleyâs American debut gives us a wickedly delightful but deadly serious battle of the wills and the sexes. It begins with the arrival in London of the mysterious Mrs. Foxâon the run from a scandalous French pastâwho takes a new identity, determined to reinvent herself. She must pit her formidable skills for revenge against Earl Much, a British aristocrat with no less notorious a past and easily her match in sinfulness and intrigue. Between these two swirls a story featuring venal lords, wronged maidens, and reprobate clergymen, transporting readers from bawdy houses to country estatesâplaces where the pleasures of the flesh are both high comedy and serious business.  A Factory of Cunning takes readers to the world immortalÂized in Dangerous Liaisons. And, like Michel Faberâs The Crimson Petal and the White, the vividly rendered setting and characters give the thrill of a fresh discovery.
