Sophia. Stanley John Weyman

Аннотация:

This book is a historical romance following the story of eighteen-year-old Sophia, who is restricted to her sister's home for shunning a loveless marriage; determined Sophia swaps clothes with the bold Lady Betty. She goes in search of her supposed admirer – an Irish adventurer masquerading as a Jacobite agent. But when she encounters him, the outcome is shocking. The delightful and intriguing story of eighteenth-century London and the Sussex countryside circles the experiences of a gorgeous heroine as she deals with unfortunate experiences life throws at her. This is an excellent novel with beautifully written characters, a solid and gripping plot, and the use of an elevated yet comprehensible style of writing.
