Welcome to The Gay Street Chronicles!
When Mrs Gaia Champion hosts her first supper after the untimely death of her adored husband Hercules, the meal goes sadly awry.
Enter gay hero Bellerophon “Belle” Nash: city councillor, grandson of Bath’s original Master of Ceremonies Beau Nash, and bachelor extraordinaire.
Assisted by a group of eccentric lady friends, Belle sets out to explore Gaia’s culinary mishap, only to expose a web of corruption that goes to the heart of Regency Bath’s judicial system.
In doing so, he struggles to retain the commitment of his German “cousin”, and Princess Victoria—not yet Queen—persuades Gaia that all women can defeat the bonds of male repression.
"A real romp of a book - full of surprises!"
-- Alexander McCall Smith"Funny, clever, silly in the right way, and strangely moving in its unexpected ending. I love the alt-Regency Bath that Keeling has built."
-- Jeanette Winterson"By turns incisive, outlandish and hilarious!...there's a brilliance in The Gay Street Chronicles, half-modern, half-Dickensian."
-- Matthew Parris"Bravo. A rollicking tale of corruption, intrigue and romance. A racy read!"
