March 2022Belle Nash and the Bath Soufflé
by William Keeling
Set in Regency Bath, in the early 1830s, Belle Nash and the Bath Soufflé is a light period comedy with a strong moral backbone, and features a gay hero, Belle Nash, who is the star of a planned five-part series, The Gay Street Chronicles. The story begins when Mrs Gaia Champion hosts her first supper after the death of her husband, who had been the main defender of legal justice in the fashionable city of Bath, in the West of England. Sadly, the meal goes awry when a soufflé fails to rise. The failure is a mystery, but one that the book's hero, city councillor Bellerophon “Belle” Nash, determines to solve. Assisted by a group of eccentric lady friends, Belle explores Gaia’s culinary mishap, only to expose a web of corruption at the heart of Regency Bath’s judicial system. In doing so, he struggles to retain the love of his German boyfriend; and Princess Victoria persuades Gaia that all women can defeat the bonds of male repression. Welcome to The Gay Street Chronicles.
