Historical Fiction It's not a bad book but I'm left with no idea what anyone in the story looked like really, The men blurred into pretty much one lecherous lout and the women were all sisterhood rocks. While she was in peril occasionally it didn't feel all that urgent and honestly she occasionally came across as being a bit thoughtless. Henrietta is the illegitimate daughter of the household, brought in as a charity case and aware of this from very young. So is her cousin, Catherine, whom she is expected to attend to as a companion for the rest of her life. Her cousin is spoilt and mean behind the backs of everyone in charge and encourages servants to treat Henrietta badly. Basically she has no friends in the world and her life is miserable. Until Allenham starts courting Catherine but is distracted by Henrietta. When Catherine suddenly dies and somehow Henrietta is blamed because Catherine had found letters between Allenham and Henrietta which upset her things go from bad to worse. Henrietta flees to Allenham and becomes his lover. When he leaves for London she follows but things are complicated. I really didn't care. I should have been drawn in and interested becuase this is my sort of thing but it just left me cold and wondering why bother. I may at some stage read any sequels but I have no really impulse to do so. A friend passed this book along to me and I thoroughtly enjoyed it! A really lively, fun read full of likable characters set in 18th century England. Wickedly humorous account of a girl's coming of age through twists of fate and misadventures. I loved the main character and found myself cheering her along in her journeys. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
