Observations on the Danger of Female Curiosity: Including an account of the unnatural tendencies arising on the over-stimulation of the mind of a lady (Curiosity, #1):
"Historical fiction with lead characters who are complicated and distinctive and interesting and lesbian. An engaging tale in which I learned a lot about life in Georgian England and the emergence of an understanding of the natural sciences and women "

“she had even begun to consider that she may have a point. Perhaps she had spent much time in a man’s world of scholarship, one’s self shaped by experiences marking its pages. The thought was almost better than the notion that her mind had betrayed her of its own accord.”

“we know and can know too little about her for me to be comfortable fictionalising around the sparse facts. Instead, she and the colourful characters around her are inspirations for those in this book.”

“The text involves some difficult topics – including views on women, black people, colonialism and slavery, disability and queer people. At times it has been uncomfortable to write and I know that parts may be to read, but I hope that it tries to balance the views and experiences, both positive and problematic by modern views, of the time. The lines intersecting historical accuracy, acceptability in fiction and sensitively truthful representation rarely meet comfortably and there are always choices to be made.”
