Sinossi
Ricco, affascinante, beniamino dell’alta società, speranza di madri ambiziose e disperazione delle sue sorelle, il marchese di Alverstoke si annoia, oppresso com’è dalle continue richieste che gli arrivano dai famigliari e dagli amici. Così, quando una lontana parente, Frederica Merriville, giunge a Londra per garantire alla sorella Charis un buon matrimonio e gli chiede di aiutarla, all’inizio lui esita.

Il marchese di Alverstoke sta per scoprirlo…

This is one of my favorite Georgette Heyer books. I read it easily once a year. I'm afraid I'm going to gush all over this review, but I'll do my best to keep this coherent. The winning feature of this book is the Merriville family, particularly as they enmesh themselves into the carefully ordered li Leggi tutto
