Product Description

Product Description
'If that stable boy were a gentleman, I am sure I should be half in love with him by now! He looks very well indeed, do not you find?' Catherine was too much appalled at Sarah's want of delicacy to reply. As they were returning home, however, Catherine's curiosity overcame her modesty and she stole a glance at James. She felt as though she had never really looked at him before. His hair was as untidy as ever and his clothes were certainly unimpressive, being the commonest livery. But beneath the brim of his top hat, she could see that his eyes glittered like two dark jewels and his strong nose seemed sculpted from stone. It was altogether a more handsome face than any she had yet come across in a ballroom and she found she must agree with her friend. If James were a gentleman, she certainly might be in some danger. Then she suddenly remembered the destitute Miss Mackerby and looked away in horror...Catherine Haywood is destined to marry well. Her father has even selected a suitable husband for her - Mr Larkin of Ellis Park. Haunted by the scandalous fate that befell Miss Mackerby eight years ago, she becomes engaged to him, determined that history will not repeat itself. But then she meets James, Mr Larkin's groom...

5.0 out of 5 stars A novel of the heart which does not neglect the head, 15 Nov 2004
By David Gardiner - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a Regency romance novel which mimics somewhat the style and even the story lines of Jane Austen, but also subtly transcends the genre by challenging the fundamental assumptions of the time about the primacy of breeding and money and the sanctity of the conventional social order. With its unexpectedly subversive and modern twist it reveals without any heavy preaching the narrowness of the world view taken by even the best of the female novelists of this era. And it does this without detracting from a very involving and entertaining love story. This one goes beyond mere escapism and will appeal to the intelligent reader of romantic fiction. I found that it completely overturned my prejudice against this kind of work. I strongly recommend that you give it a try. You are in for a surprise.
