Great review of 'Framed' on Amazon...
http://www.amazon.co.uk/review/RTYT1PG354VTK/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN=061577153X&channel=detail-glance&nodeID=266239&store=books
'As historically accurate as you could wish for, Christy Fearn's novel
unfolds neatly through the passageways of Georgian Nottingham. Lord
Byron is amusing, seductive and wicked, exactly as you expect him to be.
His dialogue is a joy to read aloud. The appearance of a raven in the
country pile adds a frisson of sinister Gothic foreshadowing. The river
Leen becomes Nottingham's Hellespont. But the tale is real; the lives of
ordinary people forced to make a living in any way they can. Christy
spares no blushes in the humiliations and recreations of the inhabitants
of Nottingham and many parallels no doubt exist between 200 years ago
and the present day.'
