Sinossi
Inverno 1807. Morendo, il fratello di Roderick Sinclair gli ha lasciato “in eredità” la sua pupilla, Fiona, un’orfana che ha adottato. La ragazza è bellissima e di un’ingenuità estrema, e l’unico modo che lo spiantato Sinclair individua per trarre vantaggio da questa strana situazione è portarla a Londra e farle fare un ricco matrimonio. Affitta quindi la casa al 67 di Clarges Street… e lo fa con un esborso minimo, dato che il palazzo ha la nomea di essere portatore di sfortuna. Quasi subito, però, Fiona si dimostra assai meno ingenua del previsto…

The British narrator, Lindy Nettleton, is quite talented. She ably portrays male and female characters of all a Leggi tutto
A promising beginning of another series by Marion Chesney. As I wrote many times, Mrs Chesney's style was specific.
