I've talked about coffee, macarons & perfume. Now you need something to read to go with all that. So sit back on your chez lounge and pick this book up. Courtesans by Katie Hickman.
I found this book in Scotland while on vacation in 2004. It was hugely popular in the UK and appealed to a wide variety of people.

This is a beautifully written book that is gossipy and filled with historic detail all at the same time. The author's research is very apparent without being dull or plodding.
Find out what these five "ladies", Sophia Baddeley, Elizabeth Armistead, Harriette Wilson, Cora Pearl and Catherine Walters mentioned in this book used to hold sway over their men. This book is for historians, feminists, fashionistas, politicos and students of human nature.
Sounds like the ancestors of the Sex in the City girls.
