But who after the second season of the Netflix series now in the novel "How do you charm a Viscount?" the bed, it's easy to see how much history has been altered to play on television screens.
The Sharma sisters have been completely re-staged
It is true that the two sisters Edwina and Kate appear, but their names are not Sharma but Sheffield. And they aren't of Indian descent either, but are described as "blonde, pale, and country." Shonda Rhimes describes her decision to make two South Asian women: “I wanted to make the world we live in as three-dimensional as possible. »
The age was also cheated. Kate is 26 in the series and 21 in the book.

Eloise is introduced to society in the second season – in the second book, she is not. For this, she was deprived of another scene. Because she was the one who saw her father die. At the time, Anthony and Benoît were on horseback and not alongside the head of the family. The budding love affair with the printer's assistant Theo also springs from the imagination of the screenwriters.

Incidentally, the author published the eight-part Bridgerton family book series between 2000 and 2006.
