Scandalous

by James Carter

Belinda is the most beautiful damsel in all of aristocratic England, and as she heads to an afternoon tea party she feels confident that every man she encounters will worship the ground she walks on. What this fluffy belle cannot foresee is that one gent’s desire for her will turn into a scandalous obsession destined to keep gossipmongers talking for years. Nor can she predict the full scale war that will break out between her army of guardian fairies and a gnome who is hell bent on destroying her esteemed reputation.

Based on Alexander Pope’s famous poem, "The Rape of the Lock."

Dumbest book I've ever attempted to read. Every character speaking in ridiculous rhymes? Mind numbing.
