I very much enjoyed Sedition by Katharine Grant which is set in late 18th century London. Four fathers plan to have their daughters tutored in playing the pianoforte to make them more attractive to young aristocrats, with a view to marriage. The teacher is a Frenchman who is intent on teaching them more than how to play the piano. One of the daughters, Alathea, has a very "unhealthy" relationship with her father and that is a key part of the story. After several months tutelage, the night of the concert arrives and no one is really sure what to expect. 4/1/2/5
