Why read it?

1 author picked Playing the Part as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Let me introduce you to the wonderful world of Turano's historical romances. Playing the Part is my favorite; it is about a 19th-century New York City actress who hides away at a friend's country estate. Every character is quirky and engaging. I laughed out loud, over and over, at the myriad of crazy situations they got themselves into.

From Elizabeth's list on historical novels that are light and silly.
