'Laced with emotional intensity and drama, Pleasing Mr Pepys . . . (has) an intricate plot that features red herrings, unexpected twists, and surprises that will take readers on a very delightful ride' Readers' Favorite

'Deb Willet, Elizabeth Pepys's maid and the object of Samuel Pepys's attentions, is finally given centre-stage after 350 years, and her tale was worth waiting for. This is exceptional story-telling' L. C. TYLER

From acclaimed historical novelist Deborah Swift, Pleasing Mr Pepys is the story of diarist Samuel Pepys' London, vibrantly told through the eyes of his maid.
..................................................

Deb Willet is desperate to escape her domineering aunt and takes a position as companion to Elisabeth Pepys, Samuel's wife. Deb believes it will give her the respectability and freedom she craves - but it proves far more complicated than she could ever have imagined.

London is still in ruins from the Great Fire. Although Charles II has been restored to the throne, there is the prospect of war with the Dutch - the world's great sea power of the era. In the midst of this tumult strides Samuel Pepys, diarist and man of note.

Pepys' influence in Restoration London means that the Dutch are keen to get their hands on his secrets - even if that means murder, espionage and blackmail to get them. Deb is soon caught up in a web of deception and double-dealing. And with Mr Pepys' attentions turned towards her, there's a lot more than treason at stake...

Selling other people's secrets is a dangerous game...

'Pepys and his world spring to vibrant life in an adventure brimming with espionage, danger, romance and flashes of dark humour...Gripping, revealing and stunningly imagined, Pleasing Mr Pepys is guaranteed to please...' Lancashire Evening Post
'The action never flags...Seventeenth century London is vividly evoked by descriptions of the crowded, stinking streets still bearing traces of the Great Fire....the novel provides us with a new view of the Pepys's household through the eyes of a young woman who steps into the limelight from the shadows of history.' Historia Magazine
'Swift brought Deborah Willet, the Pepyses, and the London of the 1660s to life in an exciting and sometimes touching way...I didn't want to put it down, and found myself thinking about the story when I went about my day' Andrea Zuvich, historian.
'The first chapter will suck you right in immediately; there is drama and intensity...before you even know who these characters are! I was hooked!' The Maiden's Court Blog
Swift is a consummate historical novelist, basing her books on immaculate research and then filling the gaps between real events and real people with eloquent storytelling, atmospheric scene setting and imaginative plot lines.' The Visitor

From the Author

Samuel Pepys (pronounced 'Peeps') began his diary in 1660 and continued to write it for ten years. His famous diary is the best resource we have on London in the 17th century. It provides us with a fly-on-the-wall account of daily life in the period just following the Restoration of King Charles II, and includes passages on The Plague and The Great Fire.

Pepys's view of the women in his life was what you would expect - they were very much supporting characters in his story. Like all diarists, he is essentially egotistical in his presentation of events. But in Pleasing Mr.Pepys, I wanted to give the women centre stage, and Pepys provides plenty of inspiration and documentation for me to do so. One of the notorious highlights in the diary is Pepys's passion for his maid, Deb Willet, and I wondered howshe felt about the situation, and so began to unpick Pepys's Diary for clues.

The inspiration for the novel came from one description. When talking of Deb, the diary says that Pepys felt 'she might be a little too good for my family.' Further research revealed she was very well-educated, having been schooled at a girls' school in Bow--an education that was unusual for a girl of that era.Perhaps she might not be the archetypal downtrodden maid and have an agenda ofher own? So the idea for a novel about Deb Willet was born.

Samuel Pepys's wife, Elisabeth, had little education so I could well imagine tensions arising between the two women. At the time too,England was at war with the Dutch, so I wondered if the intelligent Deb could somehow be involved in espionage for the enemy. After all, she was in an ideal position to do it. I had heard of Aphra Behn, the actress and playwright, who played a similar role in the same period. Samuel Pepys had access to vital information about the English Fleet, and in his diary, he had been frank about the antics of the libertine King Charles II and his court.

Research introduced me to a fascinating Restoration world of spies and rebels,whores and priests, and I tried to populate the spaces between the lines of Pepys's Diary with this plausible but entertaining history. But at the heart of the novel is the innocent maid, who is not quite as innocent as she seems.

THANK YOU for visiting my author page! As you read this I'll probably be writing from my tall stone house which was once a school and built in 1902. This is a house that is "new" in English terms, as many of our local villages date back to the 1630's or even earlier.

I write historical fiction, a genre I love. I loved the Victorian classics such as Jane Eyre, Little Women, Lorna Doone and Wuthering Heights. As I child I loved to read and when I had read my own library books, I used to borrow my mother's library copies of Anya Seton and Daphne du Maurier. I have loved reading historical novels ever since; though I'm a bookaholic and I read widely - contemporary and classic fiction as well as historicals.

In the past I used to work as a set and costume designer for theatre and TV, so I enjoy the research aspect of creating historical fiction, something I loved doing as a scenographer. More details of my research and writing process can be found on my website. I like to write about extraordinary characters set against the background of real historical events.

I live in North Lancashire on the edge of the Lake District, a beautiful area made famous by the Romantic Poets such as Wordsworth and Coleridge. I love exploring the mountainous landscapes and interesting coastline near my home.

    Walking into Deb Willet's fascinating world is a gradual, glorious immersion into the sight, sounds and emotions of 17th century London, and as the novel progresses, this world becomes more and more real, until the characters move in and take over. I loved the smooth blending of detailed research and well-written fiction; it is apparent that Ms. Swift is a talented historian with a gift for making the past come alive. For those of us who know something of this time, it was delightful to relive such contemporary events as the Whores' Petition to Lady Castlemaine; while for readers who are not familiar with this period, the highly accessible characters and engaging language welcomes even those new to Historical Fiction. I loved the character of Deb - she always tried to find the best in some very difficult situations, dealing with conniving Dutch spies, lecherous Mr Pepys and the quicksand of her relationship with Mrs. Pepys. A novel of difficult quests and lost opportunities, I found it a real page-turner, anchored by Deb's adventures. She fell in love, lost her love, and yes...there is a very satisfying ending. Highly highly recommend. This is one for my keeper shelf, and I know I shall return again to Deb Willet and her world.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Pleasing Mr. Pepys
    Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2017
    Something I love most about historical fiction is the fact that there are just so many stories to be told, from such a variety of perspectives. As many stories as I've read centered around some point of English history, I can't think of another novel I've read that's set against the rebuilding of London after the great fire. How I've missed this I don't know, but Deborah Swift does an excellent job of setting our characters within this topsy turvy world of upheaval and growth and showing just how dangerous this world can be if you take a wrong step.

    Right off the bat the novel pulls the reader in with a whip-quick murder, one that had me wondering just what other thrills the novel would have in store for me. The story soon moves to Deb Willet as we see her leaving her domineering and cruel aunt's home for a post with the Pepys's and I began to wonder...how will this sweet and intelligent girl end up embroiled in the violent action that the story opened with? I've read a number of novels that deal with historical spy rings and the dangers and benefits that can come from being pulled into this exciting yet vicious world, however I was particularly drawn to this aspect within Pleasing Mr. Pepys mainly due to the fact that Deb Willet seemed so unlike the typical person ensnared into this sort of environment. She comes from a well-to-do family, is well-educated, and seems so innocent at first, wanting simply to do well in her new circumstances and to make a better world for her and her sister. If she's able to find her mother, who abandoned her and her siblings and who, she believes, ran off to London, more's the better. Watching Abigail, so adept at intrigue and deception, pull Deb into this sinful hidden domain, against everything Deb wanted for her life, was gripping and entertaining.

    Something else I very much enjoyed was seeing London from two distinct perspectives. We get to see the opulent theatres and homes of people like the Pepys, but we also get to see the dank, dirty, and dangerous back alleys of the city, where people turn to sin to feed their families and plot intrigue against a King that refuses to pay them for work done to protect his throne. It's this aspect that really excited me as the double dealing and intrigue was absolutely fascinating. Seeing people brought as low as nearly possible and then watching some of them try to right the wrongs they've committed made this a redemption story as well, and I always enjoy stories where characters scrabble back onto the right path.

    Pleasing Mr. Pepys is scintillating and exciting historical fiction, all the more so since many of the character were actual people living and breathing this story. Like with all my favorite historical fiction, Swift includes historical notes at the end to flesh out fact from fiction. Having turned the last page on Deb, Abigail, the Pepys', and all the rest I now want to read more about their lives and the world they lived within. This is always a sign for me that the author did a great job of bringing their history back to life and I think historical fiction lovers will find much to enjoy in this story.

    I loved this book!

    Deborah’s Swift’s writing swept me into the story immediately. This novel was based on a real-life figure, Samuel Pepys (1633-1703), an administrator of the navy of England and member of Parliament, who was well-known for a diary he kept for over a decade. Quite as fascinating character to fictionalize!

    In this compelling story, well-educated Deborah (Deb) Willet is taken by her overbearing aunt Beth to serve as a companion to Samuel Pepys’s wife, Elisabeth. She’s more than happy to get away from her aunt, but in no time at all, Pepys has an unwelcome attraction to Deb, and is quite bold in making moves on her. But this is only a small part of the drama that ensues as Deborah settles into her position at the Pepys’s house on Seething Lane.

    I don’t wish to repeat the plot here, but it involves a love story, a family story, and a great deal of espionage (based on true events) and suspense as Deb is thrown into situations she never imagined, finding her life (and the life of others) in mortal danger.

    Author Swift’s writing flows beautifully and her characterizations are very believable, compelling, and quite fascinating. The story was perfectly paced and there wasn’t a dull moment. I also learned a lot about life in 17th Century London after the Great Fire. I’ve already purchased another book by this author and hope to read this entire series.

    As usual, Swift has re-created the world of 17th century England with panache and realism using the fascinating diary of Sam Pepys.

    Loving historical fiction as I do, this is a story written so well I felt I could see, smell and feel the lives of Deb, Sam, Jem and Abigail. The world of espionage is of great interest and centerpoint to the story and I was glued to the pages.

    The subjects of sexual harassment by employers and the belief that women were of lesser intellect is covered here. Amazing that men were so stupid! This story rather puts the notion of the weaker sex on trial and exposes the pitfalls of this erroneous male thinking.

    This is a great one for readers of historical fiction which I heartily recommend. Worth every page!

    5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable work of historical fiction.
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 28, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Deborah Swift has produced a remarkable work of historical fiction.

    Samuel Pepys’ diaries provide an enormously detailed insight into the world of Restoration England and the personal life of a quite remarkable man. Swift has taken these diaries and woven them into a work of fiction that is part romance, part spy story, but most of all an evocation of life in what is technically Early Modern England.

    The lovely thing about the world of the mid 17th century is that much of it is recognisable today. Much, though, has changed. We do not fear illness in the way that people naturally did in the days when surgery was performed without anaesthetic and antibiotics were unknown. Syphilis was common and sufferers were offered mercury treatment. I have never known the details of mercury treatment but, having read this book, I do. I rather wish I didn’t.

    We see London through the eyes of Deb Willet, who has come up from Bromley – then a rural idyll – to be taken on as a lady’s maid by Elisabeth Pepys. “London,” her aunt informs her, “is quite different from Bromley or Bow” and Deb’s first sight of the place takes us directly into the noise and bustle of a city rebuilding after the horrendous fire.

    Swift’s ability to pull us directly into Pepys’ London is, for me, the best thing about the book. This is not, though, a history book and a plot is called for. Here Swift has undertaken a tricky task because Deb (like most of the major characters in the story) was a real person who often featured in Pepys’ diary and Swift has set herself the task of telling a story that fits all the recorded facts. And what a story it is! Spies, murder, stolen secret plans and an explosion in the Royal Dockyards. And, of course, a romance.

    I felt myself shifting between genres. Surely Lord Bruncker, President of the Royal Society, didn’t have a mistress who was a spy for the Dutch? Wikipedia assures me that he might well have, in which case I suppose she might have done the odd bit of assassination on the side. It brought me out of the quaint world of Deb’s London with a start, but it could have happened and it certainly kept me turning the pages.

    Deb finds a young man. There is a whole science in Hollywood devoted to the business of arranging for heroine and beau to meet: Swift has Jem save Deb twice – once from attack by a dog and once when she is caught in the crush of a street riot. It’s smoothly done and the budding relationship is nicely, if predictably, handled. And then, suddenly, it’s not predictable at all as the two are separated by their attitudes to the Civil War. Jem supported the Parliamentarians, while Deb’s family were all Royalists. We get a glimpse of the way that the war had split society and how fragile the peace still was.

    Swift spins an excellent tale. The characters, too are just fabulous and utterly believable. Pepys is particularly interesting, part avuncular employer, part satyr. In these days of #metoo, Swift walks a very fine line between suggesting that Pepys is basically a decent man and making it clear that his attitude to women, whilst perhaps more acceptable then than now, was amoral and deeply damaging to many of them (including his wife whose misery – well-recoded in the diaries – is sympathetically drawn).

    Overall, this was a wonderful book and one which, thanks in part to the constant twists and turns of the plot, is likely to draw in even people who have no previous interest in the period.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Thrilling story of spies and espionage
    Reviewed in Canada on November 28, 2017
    Verified Purchase
    I’ve been trying to think about how to adequately describe my reading experience. To say that the story took me by surprise implies incorrectly that I wasn’t expecting to enjoy it. I certainly was and very much so! Anyone interested in 17th century history is very well acquainted with Pepys and his diary, and a story that revolves around people who are mentioned in the diary piqued my interest immediately. I was particularly intrigued by learning more about Mistress Pepys lady’s maid, Deb Willet, and the controversy associated with her time in the Pepys’s household. Deborah Swift’s talent is in recreating the past, including those exquisite details of how people lived and worked, so I was expecting a domestic drama revolving around Deb while being completely immersed in Restoration London. I certainly got that and more! Like many of the unexpected twists and turns in the story, the author has sent us on a dark and thrilling tale of spying and espionage! And what a tale! Deb Willet is at first a naïve and innocent bystander who is manipulated and drawn into a darker web where no one gets out once they are caught. The net tightened around Deb so securely that I could not fathom how she was going to escape from all this and I dreaded where the story was likely to lead. The subplots were expertly connected and I worried over Jem and the others as well. I loved Pleasing Mr. Pepys from start to nail-biting finish. The author zigged when I thought she was going to zag and kept me guessing until the very end. An expertly constructed story and one that I would very heartily recommend to anyone who enjoys an intelligent historical spy thriller.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on February 13, 2018

    Despite the title, Mr Pepys is a central character, rather than the main protagonist. It's those who please him that take centre stage.

    I like how the author has taken a virtually forgotten person from history and made her a main character. Deborah Willet is only mentioned a few times in Pepys’s famous diary, yet Deborah Swift has used what scant info there is to bring the heroine to life.

    Abigail Williams is another barely-remembered historical personage – I admit to never having heard of her or Deborah Willet – and again, the author uses her creative prowess to make Abigail an engaging character, perhaps the best in the novel.

    The story, set in London during the late 1660s, follows Deborah, Abigail, plus several other characters whose lives become entwined. Events revolve around the problems with the Dutch during this time, while espionage is at the heart of Deborah's troubles.

    One element I really like is how Deborah gradually slides into deeper water, which continues to build and build as the story develops. This reflects good plotting skills and adept characterisation.

    If you like fast-paced stories set in seventeenth-century England, written by an author who knows the period well, give “Pleasing Mr Pepys” a try.
