Flashman's Lady

Flashman Papers #6

by George MacDonald Fraser

Flashy, that lustful libertine, takes a round-the-world adventure that would shock Don Juan and make swingers of today green with envy. In an English mansion, he's not just doodling in the drawing room with a blue blood's red-hot-blooded mistress; in Africa, he's forced to serve a sultry queen who kills low-endurance lovers.

The irresistable antihero heads to China, where he gets between a pair of Chinese beauties who'll do anything to improve East-West relations; en route, he takes cover on warship under fire with an explosive Malay maiden.

"A romp that will have lucky readers chortling with delight." (Publishers Weekly)

About the author

George MacDonald Fraser is best known for his Flashman series of historical novels, purportedly written by Harry Flashman, a fictional coward and bully originally created by Thomas Hughes in Tom Brown's School Days. The novels are presented as "packets" of memoirs written by the nonagenarian Flashman, who looks back on his days as a hero of the British Army during the 19th century. The series begins with Flashman, and is notable for the accuracy of the historical settings and praise from critics. P.G. Wodehouse said of Flashman, “If ever there was a time when I felt that ‘watcher-of-the-skies-when-a-new-planet’ stuff, it was when I read the first Flashman.”

Flashman #6 - the one that starts with the cricket match...

Yes the cricket, unfathomable for the non-British and non-colonials. It wasn't that bad - at least it was only fifty or so pages long - from other reviews I had read I pictured it taking up a third of the book. But yes, I can see that it would not be required reading - and it did take a little longer than normal to set the stage for Flashman's adventure. Famous cricketers of the time (Pilch, Mynn and Felix) are cleverly written into the story.

This is the first of the Flashman Papers to drop back and infill a missing time period when the books are read in published order. This book covers the period 1842 to 1845, making it the third book chronologically.

I do my best not to spoil the story, so sticking to what the Blurb already gives away - Flashman spends time in Borneo (Saba mostly) and Madagascar, and for a large part of the story is joined by his beautiful but brainless wife Elspeth (although she proves to have her moments of clarity). The majority of the plot unfolds having arrives in Singapore, where historical figures are plentiful but largely play small parts.

Borneo is all about pirates and James Brook - the White Rajah, the British adventurer who suppressed piracy in Sarawak and as part of this story attacked pirate strongholds in Saba - assisted by Flashman. Brook is already the ruler of Sarawak by this point, but that is not the purpose of this interlude by Flashman. Suleiman Usman, pirate king features heavily in the first half of the book. Flashman of course is not such a willing participant, but he is perhaps more motivated than usual. The end of this fracas is sudden, and Flashman and Elspeth are whisked away from Borneo...

Landing in Madagascar, Flashman is enslaved by Queen Ranavalona I, who had made Madagascar inaccessible to foreigners, had tortured and murdered a great number of the people she ruled over and was quite mad. Any European found on Madagascar was deemed 'shipwrecked' and permanent slavery was the punishment for this. With skills on offer, Flashman is made military advisor and lover to the Queen, but will she tire of him before his 'skills' give out...

Another fantastic weaving of historical events.

If there were six stars.

This is naughty, laugh out loud funny, completely without rhyme or reason, and wholly brilliant.

Flashy is just the perfect antihero and giving him a beautiful, amoral, and completely stupid wife just ups the ante.

Go on. I dare you...

[Nigeyb · Rating 4 out of 5]

You probably don’t need me to tell you that Flashman is a racist, scoundrel, bully, cad and coward, however thankfully Flashy is also an engaging storyteller who has the happy knack of being an active participant in the middle of momentous historical events.

George MacDonald Fraser has done another magnificent job of evoking the mid 19th century. Chronologically, 'Flashman's Lady' is the third in the series (although it was the sixth to be published).

Flashman plays cricket with Felix, Mynn and Pilch; battles Barbary corsairs with James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak; and, perhaps most memorably, is enslaved by the psychotic Queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar. One of the joys of reading about Flashy’s adventures is looking up the history behind his extraordinary escapades, and thence to marvel at George MacDonald Fraser’s research and imagination.

For the first time in the series, we get to hear things from Elspeth’s perspective. Elspeth being Mrs Flashman. This innovation adds a whole new level of intrigue and humour. As with the first two books, 'Flashman's Lady' is a wonderful way to learn about history whilst enjoying a ripping yarn that is both funny and exciting.

Next up 'Flashman and the Mountain of Light’.

Flashy's up to it again ;) I really loved his encounter with James Brooke and his merry men, I'm hoping to see more of them. This is so NOT politically correct, I love it!

[Jamie Collins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Flashman plays cricket with Felix, Mynn and Pilch; battles pirates with James Brooke, the White Rajah of Sarawak; and is enslaved and ravished by scary Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar. I'd never heard of any of these people before this book, and it's always fun to look up the history behind Flashy's bizarre escapades.

His wife Elspeth gets caught up in the adventure this time, and it was almost shocking to see Flashman worried about her. In one moment of weakness he actually considers the idea of exchanging his life for hers. This is highly uncharacteristic behavior, but then Elspeth is the only person he's ever cared about besides himself. If this had been my first Flashman book - if I hadn't recently read the one where he sells his lover to the Indians - I might have gotten entirely the wrong impression of him.

I was slightly annoyed by the "editing" of blasphemies in the "Flashman Papers". I had to pause each time to work out that "b-----d" was "bastard" and not "bugger" or "bloody", and it took me a while to realize that "C----t" was "Christ", because I was trying to think of an obscenity that fitted.

This isn't my favorite of the series, but Flashman is always hilarious and outrageous, and I look forward to reading the next book.

[Christopher Saunders · Rating 4 out of 5]

This could have been the best Flashman book if it weren't for the interminable cricket scenes in the first 50 pages. Once things leave England the story really picks up, with trips to Borneo and Madagascar circa 1840, and run-ins with an interesting cast of historical villains (gentleman pirate Suleiman Usman, "White Raja" James Brooke, Madagascar’s genocidal Queen Ranavalona). Having Flashy’s gormless wife Elspeth highlighted for once adds an additional layer of delight.

[Juan Antonio · Rating 4 out of 5]

Casi ha vuelto Flashman a su primer libro, después de la decepción que me llevé con el segundo de la saga. Aquí, además viene acompañado por su esposa que también es para reirse un rato con su manera de ser. Dos partes del libro son muy interesante, la parte en que interviene James Brooke al que llaman el "rajá blanco" y la parte que trata de la reina de Madagascar "Ranavalona 1". Personajes casi desconocidos para mí y eso que me encanta las novelas históricas, pero estos personajes no interesan a los autores españoles. Pronto leeré Flashman 4 y si esto sigue así, es posible que termine con toda la saga completa

[Phillip Fuller · Rating 4 out of 5]

Harry Flashman is no hero but a lucky man who finds himself at the right place and time to escape danger and still keep up the facade of a hero of the British Empire. The Flashman papers span most of the Victorian era of outward propriety and hypocrisy that defines the era for our protagonist. If this book was a Victorian novel: the hero would bravely rescue his wife from the pirates but Flashy is not that guy. George MacDonald Fraser gives us a vivid account of adventure and danger that drew me into the world of this dastardly coward and lecher. It was a thrill ride but the main character is no altruistic hero.

[Ensiform · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flashy — after, incidentally, pulling a hat trick on the three most celebrated cricketers of his time — accepts a "friendly" wager in a single-wicket match against Don Solomon, a half-breed Etonian socialite. The tie score results in he and Elspeth accompanying Solomon on a cruise to the Far East, where Solomon’s true colors are revealed, and he absconds with Elspeth. Flashman must fight, however unwillingly, to get her back — until they both end up in the hands of the bloodthirsty queen of Madagascar, Ranavalona I.

This is a fine entry in the series, possibly a little more heavy on the humor this time around than the adventure. The first half of the book is all cricket and social intrigue; a more thorough look at Madagascar might have been in order, tho' perhaps Fraser was dealing with limited intelligence on that subject. Another minor quibble: At the book’s opening, our hero is caught in a damned-if-he-does-damned-if-he-don’t trap that pushed him again into adventure (lose the cricket match and see Elspeth go on a cruise with Solomon, or win and be beaten by crooked bookies?). And, as in Flash for Freedom!, the dilemma that prompted him into action, when he returns (in that case, cheating at cards), is completely forgotten. I would have liked to see some closure in the matter of the threatening bookie, at least. All that aside, this is, of course, another witty, well-researched adventure. Bravo!

[Victor Bruneski · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the first Flashman, so decided to give this a try since it is supposedly the second in the chronology, even if it is #6.

Any, at first I have to say I was pretty disappointed. The book starts out with ol' Flashy in England, playing cricket of all things. It get pretty detailed about the game, which I found dry, especially since I am a Canadian and don't have a clue about it. Flashman seems a bit toned down from the first book, even if he is having an affair with a duke's wife. Of course while Flashman gets himself into trouble, forcing him to go on a 6 month sea cruise, but this time his wife is coming along. At the end of most chapters you see a diary entry from her point of view, which is refreshing.

Things pick up as he gets to Singapore, and really entertaining after he gets to Madagascar which saves the book for me. It's crazy what is happening there at the time.

Like always the historical detail in the book is amazing, for me that is just as important as the humor of a Flashman novel. There is a few bumps at the start of the book, but well worth the read.

[Jonathan Ammon · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fraser claims he didn't set out to write a satire, but simply entertaining adventure novels. FLASHMAN entries like this one make me worry that's true. It does take on more meaning in the context of the series and satirizes (or at least one hopes so) victorian marriage (and marriage in general).

[Illiterate · Rating 1 out of 5]

The basic conceit of the Flashman series is great, but it’s static, so the books soon become formulaic.

[Michele · Rating 4 out of 5]

What a relief after the appalling horror of Flashman in the Great Game! Beautiful but feather-brained Elspeth, wife of the unquenchable Harry Flashman, is kidnapped by Malay pirates and ravished off to Borneo and Madagascar. Flash (reluctantly) goes to her rescue, dragged along in the wake of James Brooke, White Raja of Sarawak, and his motley crew. Along the way he manages to survive at least three battles with pirates and becomes a sex slave to Queen Ranavalona who boils people alive for fun (!!).

This book has two of my favorite secondary characters: the red-bearded Scotch-Arab Paitingi Ali ("Come back and fight, ye son of a Malay b---h! By the Seven Heroes, I shall give thy heid to my Lingas yet, thou uncircumcised carrion! Ach, burn his grandmither, he's awa' wi' it, so he is!") and the London-educated Malagasy, Fankanonikaka ("I being Mr Fankanonikaka, very personal and special secretary to her majesty Queen Ranavalona, ain't I just, though? Not above half, I don't think...I being an old boy...You telling me now of personal life yourself, where coming from, what trade, so to speak, my old covey.")

This book is enormous fun, with all manner of outrageous events, most of them even true. As a nice bonus, we find out that there's quite a bit more to Mrs Flashman -- or Lady Flashman, as she became at the end of the previous book -- than even her husband suspected :)

[cool breeze · Rating 3 out of 5]

This installment of the otherwise great Flashman series is marred by devoting the first third of the book to cricket (yawn) and altogether too much of the rest to Flashy's wife, Elspeth.

[Adrian Alvarez · Rating 3 out of 5]

Continuing with the historical adventures of Harry Flashman, the irreverent, racist and sexist cad - a truly remarkable asshole in the world of literature - it would be easy to write him off, but George Macdonald Fraser develops some pretty great writing chops the more this series goes on. Here, for the first time, he introduces some passages from Elspeth's perspective which is fun, though not exactly compensatory if anyone were looking for that. No, Harry Flashman is not a good guy and the writing perspective in these books is not at all redemptive. But I love them! I love them like I love Dennis Reynolds in It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's the same pleasure reading these only they cover real historical events and when they are at their best Harry is utterly tortured for most of the story. They pull off quite a trick.

This entry isn't my favorite. It was interesting learning about Fuller Pilch, Alfred Mynn, and Nicolas Felix - all figures from the world of cricket I had never heard of (I don't know from cricket) and the passionate way Fraser writes about the game is compelling. The heart of this entry, however, concerns the story that kicks off with the kidnapping of Elspeth by a fictional pirate in disguise. That's when we meet The White Raja in Singapore (the introduction of James Brooke drove me to learn a little more about him, which I enjoyed) and later the big baddie in the form of Ranavalona I, the queen of Madagascar. I have to say, a lot of the relationship between Flashman and the queen felt like a retread of Flashman's relationship with Lakshmibai in Flashman and the Great Game. Since that was a better novel, using a similar structure didn't do this book any favors. Still, I'd be hard pressed to call this 6th entry in the Flashman papers disappointing. I've already bought in with the series and they always deliver what I'm looking for: a breezy, summer read.

[Simon Mcleish · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like one of the Flashman novels, you'll enjoy all of them. Hilarious in places, as Flashman alternately bullies and cowers as usual - but also showcases one of the most unpleasant regimes in history, the rule of despotic mad queen Ranavalona of Madagascar, whose favourite occupation was torture. Possibly not a read for the squeamish.

[Stephen Alexander · Rating 5 out of 5]

Flashman at his very best!

[Tim Schneider · Rating 4 out of 5]

Flashy is back with an adventure that takes place between the first half of Royal Flash and Flashman and the Mountain of Light. While the book is a single narrative and focuses heavily on Flashman and his relationship with his wife Elspeth it breaks down into essentially three parts. The first part finds Flash in London and getting involved as a cricket bowler where he meets Don Solomon a bit of a super-rich mystery man who takes quite a shine to Elspeth. The second part finds our couple in Singapore and Borneo along with The White Rajah, James Brooke, attempting to rescue a kidnapped Elspeth and fighting (reluctantly on Flashy's part as usual) south seas pirates. The final part has Flash and Elspeth on Madegascar with Flash as the slave of the mad queen Ranavalona.

I re-read eight of the twelve Flashman novels a few years back and seven of the first nine before moving on to other things with a small bit of burnout. I missed this one as I didn't have access to it. I decided to give it a try and will move on in a bit to the final three books.

This is good solid Flashman. He's his normal cowardly, lecherous, toadying self. It's a testament to Fraser's abilities as a writer that I know absolutely NOTHING about cricket but still found that portion of the book plenty interesting. Even better is that I didn't know a lot about James Brookes and even less about Madagascar in this time period. All other things being equal, I tend to like the Flashman tales in direct relationship to how little I know about the particular setting. Fraser's research and ability to convey setting appear to always be spot on. So if I don't know much about the setting or the particular battle then I'm learning as I'm enjoying Flashman's antics. By far my least favorite episodes are those set in the U.S. as I'm very familiar with most facets of U.S. history.

This one is well recommended. Flash is in vintage form and the inclusion of more of Elspeth and even excerpts from her diaries help to flesh out her character.

[Ben · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've been in need of cheering up the last few weeks—a combination of personal and national strife—and when you need cheering up, there's no man for the job like Flashy.

I think this is one of his best and funniest adventures yet, delivering all the exoticism, hair-raising action, and unvarnished cowardice one expects, with the surprise addition of his wife Elspeth as a key figure in, and commenter on, the drama. Elspeth, constantly described by Flashman in his memoirs as a "beautiful idiot" and "gold-headed filly without a brain," corroborates this assessment with a series of hilariously vapid, but somehow endearing, diary entries. (The acidic editorial comments of Elspeth's prudish, homely sister Grizel also never fail to get a laugh.)

As always, Fraser's research is meticulous, and his writing far more accomplished than some in the literary canon would be comfortable admitting. Flashman's Lady contains some truly outstanding descriptive prose and scene construction, as Fraser handles massive pirate battles, orgiastic Madagascaran feasts, and other set-pieces with aplomb, keeping all plates spinning at once: lush setting, frenetic action, dozens of characters, and our hero's singular perspective.

I believe this puts me exactly halfway through the series—hopefully by the time I finish, I'll be ready to start again.

[Rick Brindle · Rating 4 out of 5]

Flashman's wife is kidnapped by a pirate after Flash loses a game of cricket, and as a result he has to sail to the far east with the guy who beat him. He then goes through all sorts of perils against Borneo pirates, then is enslaved, along with Elspeth on Madagascar.
This is the fourth Flashman book I've read, and I have to say, I actually like old Flashy. Sure, he cheated at cricket, but didn't James Bond do the same in the Goldfinger golf match? So he can't keep it in his pants, but nor could Richard Sharpe. And maybe he didn't lead from the front during Brooke's attacks in Borneo, but hey, would you? Added to that, he did actually risk his own safety to save Elspeth this time around, so I'd say he's less of an anti-hero, and more like a normal bloke, doing what most normal blokes would do in these given situations. George MacDonald Fraser tells his story in his usual lively and humorous way, poking fun at the establishment, and introducing real life characters and events at the same time. Given the author's own war time experiences, you can be sure his descriptions of the jungle are spot on. The usual, well-researched and thoroughly entertaining novel we've come to expect, with one star knocked off for perhaps too much cricket.

[Rob Kitchin · Rating 3 out of 5]

Flashman’s Lady is the sixth book in the Harry Flashman series, but the second in chronological order, set in 1843-45. As usual, Fraser interweaves Flashman into real-world events and places from the time – in this case, cricket in London, James Brooke’s battles with pirates in Borneo, and the tyrannical reign of Queen Ranavalona in Madagascar, a deadly place for Europeans to visit. To a large degree these are three separate adventures just about held together by Flashman’s global chaperoning and pursuit of his air-headed wife, Elspeth. Moreover, Flashman almost slips out of character, for although he is his usual bawdy-self for once he is chivalrous to Elspeth, seeking to make sure she is safe rather than simply looking after himself as normal. Of course, that doesn’t stop him getting up to high-jinks with other women. And Flashman continues in his misogynist, racist, imperialist ways – very much reflecting a certain British, nineteenth century mentality that feels somewhat uncomfortable in today’s politically correct times. Fraser plays the bawdiness and humour to good effect to deliver a swashbuckling adventure with plenty of social and historical commentary. Overall, an enjoyable if a little uneven addition to the series.

[Philip · Rating 4 out of 5]

Thank goodness I'd already read the original Flashman so I knew what was coming, or else I might have given up on this early on. The first 80 pages are all about cricket, which may be fascinating to a Brit, but to an American was like reading a foreign (and boring) language. However, I knew enough about Flashy to keep reading, and it was well worth it. What followed were two great - if disjointed - stories of Flashman in Singapore/Borneo and then a totally bizarre Madagascar that reads like a missing section of Gulliver's Travels; how had I never heard of Queen Ranavalona before??

Other than the overlong cricket section, the book also suffered from a lack of resolution in several places - main characters and story arcs like Brooke and Don Solomon (and whole continents like Asia) just disappear with no explanation. But what remained was all 4-star excellent. By description only, Flashman should be a buffoon or a cartoon character, but thanks to Fraser's excellent writing and voice he comes across as surprisingly human and sympathetic, if not necessarily someone you'd want as a travel companion.

[Rudi Landmann · Rating 3 out of 5]

Probably my least favourite Flashman novel to date; but that's likely because one of the three episodes depicted here revolves around cricket, a game that I understand little and care about less. However, when the action shifts to battling pirates in Sarawak and then to trying to stay alive in the mad court of Queen Ranavalona of Madagascar, my enjoyment of the book improved enormously.

This instalment also interleaves Flashman's own recollections with diary entries by his wife, Elspeth. I didn't think that Fraser used this device enough to make it worthwhile. The title of the novel made me initially wonder whether this was going to be The Spy who Loved Me for the Flashman series, but alas no. Elspeth's diary entries are too brief and too widely-spaced.

Still, if you like Flashman, there's so much to like here! And as usual, the meticulous historical research makes this an educational read, as well as good fun.

[Barry · Rating 3 out of 5]

After seeing the synopsis of this book, I feel self-conscious enough to write a review/disclaimer. My cousin Mike turned me on to the Flashman series. It's an entertaining way to learn history of the Victorian era through the comical adventures of this cowardly philandering anti-hero. This time we learn about cricket, the White Raja (James Brooke), and Queen Ranavalona, the mad tyrant of Madagascar.

[Deborah Pickstone · Rating 3 out of 5]

Read for the setting for the geocaching challenge, this was a re-read after many years and it retains it's ability to entertain, though after a few Flashman books, you do start to get something of an ennui. It's an occupational hazard of long-running series' and a very good marker for the notion that all good series' should end somewhere. Of those series' I have had this response to, though, this is one of the marginals rather than a 'definitely should have ended years ago' vote!

Another entry into the great Flashman series which explores one ne'er do well's glorious career through all the disasters of the 19th century.

Unfortunately this story (the third chronologically, but the sixth published) revolves around pirates in Borneo and tyrants in Madagascar which just don't have the same cache as Custer's Last Stand or the British retreat from Afghanistan. Nonetheless, it won't stop me from picking up the next in the series.
