![]() ![]() Into this pastoral landscape ride Sir Waldo Hawkridge and his young relative, Lord Linden. Rather than become a burden to her male relatives, she makes a living as a governess to The Beautiful Miss Wield, an heiress from a bourgeois background who is living with her somewhat vulgar but loving aunt and cousin, who in turn are part of rural gentry society in Yorkshire. Our heroine, Miss Ancilla Trent, is a 28-year-old spinster from a good family fallen on hard times. ![]() There is a satisfying romance at its core, but that romance sometimes takes a back seat to her richly depicted social world. It features an on-the-shelf but still attractive spinster, a paragon of a hero, a brilliantly drawn cast of supporting characters, a country setting, and sparkling dialogue. When an author has published over fifty books, where do you start? I want to make the case for one of Georgette Heyer’s less frequently discussed novels.
