I so agree with you - it's the tension between past and present that brings historical fiction to life. <br /><br />I'm off to order a copy of The Gilded Lily. I don't know that period at all (I'm a 16th-century gal) but the book sounds great.

But, it turns out that's actually period correct--women had to in order to crest the elaborate, Scarlett-esqe styles. They'd save hair in hair catchers and then make ratts. If someone had asked if they were wearing false hair, they technically wouldn't be lying if they said no.

You write about the American Civil war, so i'm imagining something a little like Scarlett O'Hara (completely wrong, I'm sure!).Deborah Swifthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10594174632573628818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8313651519637984862.post-18301309101482375302012-06-17T11:23:33.232-07:002012-06-17T11:23:33.232-07:00Beautiful!

I admit, I even attempt period hairstyles to better understand them. <br /><br />Looking forward to your book!Heather Curleyhttp://heatherhambelcurley.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
