I love watching bridgerton. However, it’s driving me a little crazy how everyone thinks how fun it would’ve been to live in that time. And I tried to tell them that we are watching the 1%. Are there any books that show just how crappy it was to live during that time I’m looking for fiction. It doesn’t have to be so depressing but just a little more factual than bridgerton.

Also, I would like for it to be set in London if possible
You still want a romance novel?
Jane Austen points out a lot of “the dark side” in her books. She’s got penniless spinsters, families with too many kids to support so they farm a child off to a rich relation, families who need to downsize because they don’t know how to live with within their means. Girls being “ruined” by predatory men. Women entering into loveless marriages because their options are pretty dismal otherwise.
