Publisher's Summary
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.
What the critics say
"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."

Mckenzie Lee and Moira are a great pair!
Moira does a phenomenal job of illustrating and narrating Mckenzie Lee's tale of Felicity Montague. The whip-crack intelligence and sarcasm of Felicity had me laughing out loud more often than not, and as with ant of Lee's work, the way the characters develop is so genuine and true that it feels real.

A bit short
I loved it but I wish it were longer. I still have so many unanswered questions.

a fast paced, well humoured story
a great sequel to the first book! Full of Adventure and fast-paced just like the first but this time you get to delve into the life of Felicity. the voice actor does an awesome job and I thought she really painted a great picture for Felicity and her humour, and wit. I cannot wait for the third book!

It's a fun sequel
Felicity as a character is interesting, but overall I've found it didn't have the loveable scamp nature that Monty provided in Book One. Moira is a great voice actress too.
