Abandonada por sus padres, la intelectual Georgiana Ellers está pasando el verano en la campiña inglesa con sus ​​tíos, una pareja que no parece tener ni idea de lo que es la diversión. En una fiesta

22-year-old aspiring writer Edith 'Eddie' Miller and her best friend Rose have always done everything together-climbing trees, throwing grapes at boys, sneaking bottles of wine, practicing kissing . . . Now that they're out in society, Rose is suddenly talking about marriage, and Eddie is horrified. When Eddie meets charming, renowned poet - and rival to Lord Byron - Nash Nicholson, he invites her to his crumbling Gothic estate in the countryside. The entourage of eccentric artists indulging in pure hedonism is exactly what Eddie needs in order to finish her novel and make a name for herself. But Eddie might discover that trying to keep up with the literati isn't all poems and pleasure . . .

Abandonada por sus padres, la intelectual Georgiana Ellers está pasando el verano en la campiña inglesa con sus ??tíos, una pareja que no parece tener ni idea de lo que es la diversión. En una fiesta particularmente aburrida, conoce a la enigmatica Frances Campbell, que pertenece a una de las familias mas ricas e influyentes de la alta sociedad y que siente un absoluto desprecio por las normas y los convencionalismos. Solitaria y vulnerable, Georgiana se siente fascinada por Frances y sus amigos, tan ricos, salvajes e inapropiados como ella. Gracias al grupo, se introducira en el escalafon mas alto de la aristocracia de la Regencia y en un mundo de embriaguez libertina, de gastos frivolos y jovenes misteriosos, entre los cuales destaca Thomas Hawksley, quien tiende a cruzarse con Georgiana en sus momentos mas vergonzosos. ¿Hasta donde esta dispuesta a llegar una joven anodina por tocar el cielo de la aristocracia mas canalla? Con un telon de fondo de fiestas lujosas, hombres guapos a caballo, y en una epoca en la que la reputacion lo era todo, esta comedia romantica atrevida e hilarante explora las relaciones, el consentimiento y el estatus a traves de los ojos de una heroina inolvidable que bien podria haber sido protagonista de una novela de Jane Austen.
