Review # 1 was written on 2015-08-02 00:00:00 Cory Bennett This book is well named as it follows the changes in the being of a young, feckless country girl as she wends her way through life in various parts of England during the 1850's. She is Daisy Holt, who through a series of circumstances, becomes Hebe Waywood, Lady Overton and Mrs. Johnson; each persona standing for another "pose or attitude" such as were popular during that era and in which she performed first at an upscale brothel, then as mistress of a respectable Country House. These "poses" which came to define her, helped her keep at bay the grimmer realities of the world until she finds herself at rock-bottom with no apparent way out. But hope springs eternal for this girl with the impractical attitude combined with faith in "something special, just around the corner!" The reader is happy to root for her as the universe does, indeed, come through for her...in a well-earned way!

Review # 2 was written on 2020-09-15 00:00:00 Randy Gibson It was an enjoyable read. It was given to me by a friend, otherwise I probably wouldn't have gotten it. I'm not generally an historical romance reader, but this was fun.Rather typical story of heroine's in the 18th century.........a woman wasn't anything without a man and it took real engenuity to get along without one. Norah Lofts little heroine Daisy is feisty, beautiful, innocent and falls in love with the wrong man....twice....with the predictable result, babies born out of wedlock. She pulls herself up by her garter straps though and it's a lively romp through the pages.
