About this listen

In this highly anticipated sequel to the New York Times best-selling The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue, Felicity Montague must use all her womanly wits and wiles to achieve her dreams of becoming a doctor - even if she has to scheme her way across Europe to do it. A must-have for fans of Mackenzi Lee’s extraordinary and Stonewall Honor-winning novel.

A year after an accidentally whirlwind grand tour with her brother Monty, Felicity Montague has returned to England with two goals in mind - avoid the marriage proposal of a lovestruck suitor from Edinburgh and enroll in medical school. However, her intellect and passion will never be enough in the eyes of the administrators, who see men as the sole guardians of science.

But then a window of opportunity opens - a doctor she idolizes is marrying an old friend of hers in Germany. Felicity believes if she could meet this man he could change her future, but she has no money of her own to make the trip. Luckily, a mysterious young woman is willing to pay Felicity’s way, so long as she’s allowed to travel with Felicity disguised as her maid.

In spite of her suspicions, Felicity agrees, but once the girl’s true motives are revealed, Felicity becomes part of a perilous quest that leads them from the German countryside to the promenades of Zurich to secrets lurking beneath the Atlantic.

Critic reviews

"Moira Quirk gives crisp, purposeful voice to Felicity Montague, a young Englishwoman in the 1700s with the single-minded ambition to become a doctor - a path that seems hopelessly closed to her.... Quirk makes the most of her portrayal of Johanna, whose high, girlish voice rises and falls with her emotions and belies her strength and ingenuity....listeners will be rooting all the way for these formidable women who are determined to carve out lives for themselves on their own terms."

Great Book

Very well written story. If you loved Monty and Percys story than you will love Felicity, Johannas and Simms story! Full of twist and women who are heroic in those challenging times.

Beautiful, funny and full of twists

The sequel to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue did not disappoint. I loved Monty and Percy so much, so I did initially worry about what I would do without them. But, it turns out that Felicity is just as witty and endearing as the two of them. Full of adventure and girl power, this is the perfect companion to book 1 and leaves me excited for the 3rd book next!

Audio book narrator was outstanding!

Another Home Run!

I like that she has the courage to pursue her dreams and that she doesn’t accept the easy way out of trouble. The marriage proposal she refuses would have made her and the young man terribly unhappy in the long run. I think she will be quite happy and challenged living the life of a pirate.

Felicity is wonderful

though this was a sequel and we pretty much new what might happen, the first book in this series was waaaaaaay funnier. maybe it's because I'm a gay male and for that reason Monte had better linea I could relate to, or it could be that Ms. Monteque was too predicable. Nonetheless, it was a great entertaining book

Brothers Do It Better

I was obsessed... OBSESSED with the first book. i was obsessed with the confrontation of racial injustice, feminism, and homophobia. the world was so perfectly realistic and fantastical that I was almost dreading this book. How xould it POSSIBLY live up to Monty and his beau's romance, and the relationship between siblings, the defiant spirits and the beauty that is the story around it all?
Let me just say, above anything I am ASHAMED to have every doubted the magic that is this book. ASHAMED to have seen it as just "the second book".. this, was everything I imagined, and more. The story sunk it's teeth into me from the start, and it only got worse the further I listened. I mean, the relationship between SIM and Felicity, to start was just... SO GOOD. There was a slow climb of attachment, and a slow climb towards what I see as a partnership. Felicity was never perfect, she was challenged in her mindset, and I'm just going to stop now. this book was almost better than the first... almost is so loose because I literally can't decide what book I loved more!!!

THIS was EVERYTHING I could have ever expected

Nice follow up to the gentleman's guide to vice and virtue - funny - historical romp. Preferred the original slightly but would definitely read further adventures.

Fun sequel

I absolutely loved this book! Felicity makes a perfect main character and the ending of this book leaves me begging for a third to see where the story turns and I would love to see something unfold with her and sim.

Just as good if not better than the first book

Loved this story so much. I hope there will be more in the series, and/or by the author, and/or if a similar hope and brilliance!

brilliant!
