At twenty-seven, Marianne Marchmont is the last unmarried sister of an otherwise happily wedded family - long resigned to the pitying, curious glances that always carry the same unspoken question. She would far rather lose herself in Mrs. Radcliffe's tales of shadowy counts and remote castles than in the uneventful comfort of the family drawing room. But the spring of 1819 brings a new Season - and with it the prospect that real life might prove more thrilling than any novel. Between social duty, sharp wit and an encounter that fits none of her books, Marianne discovers that the loveliest story is sometimes her own. Book 6 of "The Wyndham Season" - a warm, humorous Regency romance about a love of books, self-worth and late, unexpected happiness.
