This romp through eighteenth-century England is like nothing told in the era of Tom Jones—a sparkling, humorous, and poetical coming-of-age 242 years in the making.

From an old family trunk comes a manuscript which never saw the light of day. Its pages tell of the life, times, and blackmail of a young queer aristocrat stepping into 1768 Society . . .

A time of wig powder and heeled slippers. Duels and social climbers, when the most popular member of the government is declared an outlaw. Hugh Entwistle enters this world wealthy, witty, and well-connected. Everything to be a success—everything, except that thing stuck to the bottom of his heeled slipper.

Hugh's is a story of secret encounters and significant looks. Hushed separations and sobriquets. But if he dares define Liberty, he might be asked to confront a blackmailer. Asked to confront a father. And before he can make a marriage proposal, follow his heart, and accept one.

Hugh is a rollicking tale of comic angst, and a celebration of the wit, beauty, and absurdities of a glorious age.

Contains mature themes.

The story of a young man struggeling with his sexuality and the family finances is as such interesting. It's written in a mix of realism and historical accuracy while also drawing on mystic storytelling elements popular in the 18th century. Unfortunate is that it's full of concepts of who the man is in the relationship ,with the older being it while the younger is being emasculated and has to follow, instead of being a true partner

Hard to listen to because of the stilted pseudo-oldfashioned style
