...real events. Flashman keeps his narrative moving smartly. Perhaps to make room for other sorts of depravity, sex is at a happy minimum, though he does deal out the Kama Sutra ("It is all nonsense, for the seventy-fourth position turns out to be the same as the seventy-third, but with your fingers crossed...
