Don't be downhearted about the reviews on GoodReads. I was interested to see how it was received on Amazon and you have some very good reviews on that site. I've had it in my wish list for a while, as I love the Regency period, and as soon as I can afford it I'll be purchasing it. I also review every book I read.Bookwormhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02305855152325587065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-88736087913311363422017-09-15T17:36:16.895+01:002017-09-15T17:36:16.895+01:00I just finished reading this book and I enjoyed it...I just finished reading this book and I enjoyed it immensely. The level was just right for the person who mostly reads fiction but wants an entertaining nonfiction background and is curious about the subject matter. It appeared to be well-researched and the stories were told in a very entertaining manner. Thanks so much for bringing it to us. I'd love a sequel, as I'm sure there were other women who did not make the cut this time!Suzan Lauderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13770386453085972642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-8681353562141864922017-06-19T11:21:39.557+01:002017-06-19T11:21:39.557+01:00Gosh, that was a really fast surprise. thank you ...Gosh, that was a really fast surprise. thank you for that! Please don't let the Goodreads reviews get you down - I can't imagine working on something like this book and pouring yourself into it to receive negative feedback. I, for one, have been really inspired by it and have only just discovered this blog. It is brilliant, and your love of the subject really shows through. <br />I've just had a look on Google maps and 86 Camberwell Grove is only 120 yards from my house. Will investigate this afternoon! Shall i take a photo to share with you?<br />Keep up the good work and "Don't let the bastards get you down"!

The most comprehensive book on Eleanor Coade and Coade stone is Alison Kelly's 'Mrs Coade's Stone' - it is out of print and quite hard to get hold of but you might be able to borrow it from your library. I am afraid I have nothing more definite than that she was described as being 'of Camberwell Grove' at the time of her death. Previous to this, she lived in Great Surrey Street, now Blackfriars Road. There are Coade stone plaques on 86 Camberwell Road which I think should be near you.Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-74500952432265456322017-06-19T09:33:52.529+01:002017-06-19T09:33:52.529+01:00Hello, I am really enjoying this book!

I live on Camberwell Grove, as did Eleanor Coade at the time of her death. Do you happen to know the address of the home she lived in? And were there any pieces of Coade stone used in this area? I'm so excited that a pioneering businesswoman lived on my street! Would love to know more about her life here if you have any information?<br />Thank you!Christinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15659396451639968447noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-85008028487900407622017-05-10T15:28:30.772+01:002017-05-10T15:28:30.772+01:00Thanks, Suzan. :)Thanks, Suzan. :)Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-1148244872385009022017-05-10T15:28:06.633+01:002017-05-10T15:28:06.633+01:00Thank you - enjoy :)Thank you - enjoy :)Rachel Knowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14058142939706153724noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-196124033481143515.post-2722395439666482722017-05-03T15:37:52.747+01:002017-05-03T15:37:52.747+01:00Sounds wonderful!
