Quicksilver Lady is Whitehead's second novel. It has all the charm and descriptive power that typifies Whitehead's work. The characters have 'real blood' in their veins.The lady is a girl from the provinces called Arabella Hill, who persuades her married sister Caroline to take her to spend a winter in London so that she can sample the pleasures of the capital. Against a background of the pleasure-seaking world of fashionable Regency life the romantic escapades of an impetuous, warm-hearted young woman suddenly become a real test of her constancy of character.This is a sparkling novel of sentimental intrigue written with the same loving attention to domestic detail that was such a feature of Barbara Whitehead's first novel, The Caretaker Wife.
