Editorial Reviews

Misfortune’s Friend is a classic Sarah Aldridge historical romance, written in her beautiful and proper lyrical style. Her characters are often flawed but indispensible, drawing the reader into a world that celebrates the love of women for each other. They live and breathe, they are intelligent and opinionated, and they don’t apologize to the world around them for owning their love.
I encourage readers to open their minds to the books of this beautiful and immortal author.
