The Ill-Mannered Ladies series (book two mentioned as Alison Goodman's latest release)
Book •
The Lady's Road Guide to Utter Ruin, by Alison Goodman, continues her Ill-Mannered Ladies series about middle-aged sisters navigating Regency society while using their perceived invisibility to help women in danger.
The novels eschew supernatural elements in favor of historically-grounded adventures, blending wit, research and feminist themes as the protagonists challenge social expectations.
Goodman researched Regency life extensively to create authentic settings and to underpin the characters' moral and social journeys.
The series explores sisterhood, class, and the limited options available to women, while delivering action, humor and period detail.
The book was cited in the podcast as Goodman's latest release and an exercise in writing older protagonists in the Regency era.
