Lee unfolds the stories of six women with a cast of supporting characters such as Samuel Taylor Coleridge, Benjamin Franklin, Stamford Raffles and Napoleon against the grand narrative of England's 18th century empire building. This book is a meticulously researched, spellbinding tale of tragedy, transformation and triumph in the age of reason.
'The stories told by Debbie Lee in Romatic Liars - of women who led fake lives and fooled a great many people - are extraordinary.' - Sharon Ruston, Times Literary Supplement
