"Goodwin manages to take the reader deep inside the characters' longings and
flaws in a way that makes the reader root for them. An enchanting, beautifully written page-turner." --"Publishers Weekly"
"Goodwin's second novel is a luxurious indulgence for romantically inclined readers....Mingling historical fact with imaginative fiction, Goodwin writes with effortless grace, and her dialogue's subtle wit is delightful. Each of her three protagonists commands attention and sympathy, which heightens the story's poignancy. Charlotte's levelheaded personality remains unaffected by her wealth or her relatives' dependence on it, and Bay is movingly torn between duty and his sense of self-worth. Finally, despite her outlandish regimen for maintaining her complexion and ankle-length chestnut tresses, Elizabeth is never less than beguiling." --"Booklist
""A sumptuous, scrumptious confection, with country houses, Austrian Empresses and Victorian glamour galore." --Lucy Worsley, Chief Curator at Historic Royal Palaces
"Daisy Goodwin has triumphed again. In "The Fortune Hunter" she weaves a rich and textured tale of desire and ambition. Sizzling with energy and passion on every page, Goodwin's characters compel the reader to fall in love with them." --Amanda Foreman, author of the "New York Times" bestsellers "Georgiana" and "A World on Fire
