Ashley Stovall asked Rachael Miles:

What's the heroine's favorite novel? Also, does she have any particular political leanings?

Rachael Miles That's a great question, Ashley! Thanks for asking.

Sophia likes the novels of Fanny Burney, particularly Camilla. For this reason, she asks Mr. Murray to send her Burney's 1816 Wanderer at the beginning of Jilting the Duke.

As for her political leanings, Sophia grew up on the radical politics of writers like Mary Wollstonecraft and Anna Letitica Barbauld. As a result, she is strongly anti-slavery and adamantly pro-education for women and girls, etc. Sophia appears in all three books of the Muses Salon series--and her social and political ideals play a role in both Chasing the Heiress and Tempting the Earl.
