Seventeen-year-old Althea is the sole support of her entire family, and she must marry well. But there are few wealthy suitors--or suitors of any kind--in their small Yorkshire town of Lesser Hoo. Then, the young and attractive (and very rich) Lord Boring arrives, and Althea sets her plans in motion. There's only one problem; his friend and business manager Mr. Fredericks keeps getting in the way. And, as it turns out, Fredericks has his own set of plans . . . This witty take on the classic Regency--Patrice Kindl's first novel in a decade--is like literary champagne!

***Note: this review assumes that you've read the book.*** I enjoyed this book for exactly what it was--a fun romp. I read it right after something heavy and long (Code Name Verity), and it was the perfect, cheery palate cleanser. It's wonderfully frothy and, well, Regency, and if you're ever in t...
