Janice Hadlow, "Rules of the Heart" (Henry Holt and Company, 2026)
Janice Hadlow, novelist and former TV producer with a first-class degree in history, explores an 18th-century affair. She unpacks why older married women took younger lovers and the social rules that kept them discreet. Letters, long-distance longing, age and desire, and the risks of scandal all come up. Hadlow also reads a key scene and teases an Austen-adjacent next project.
