Every season the beau mondes of the Regency would hire a house in the heart of London's fashionable West End at disproportionately high rent for often inferior accommodation and yet Number 67 Clarges Street, a town house complete with staff, remains vacant from year to year.

Il romanzo è un mix di umoristico/romance, senza troppe pretese. Ne avevo bisogno per "purgarmi" dall'arrabbiatura data dallo straziante libro della O'Neill.

Consigliato a chi ha bisogno di intermezzi leggeri. (

Temi consunti ma una nuova freschezza. Gradevole (

I was very pleasantly surprised by this book. I forget how it ended up on my Kindle but I decided to give it a try a few days ago. I have never read anything by Beaton/Chesney before and I am not a romance reader. To be honest, I didn't even really realize this was a romance til I started it. But I thoroughly enjoyed Beaton's writing style--sort of breezy and fairly contemporary, no stilted "period" English-- and her humor. I will look forward to reading more in the series. (

Interesting in that the heroine is interpreted through other characters; you never hear her own internal voice. The first section is told from the point of view of her new guardian, an obviously unreliable narrator. Later, it's told from the POV of the servants, notably the butler. You hear more of the hero's thoughts than Fiona's. Glimpses of her internal thoughts are found in her actions, and the occasional spilling to the butler, the first time happening 2/3rds of the way through the book. Different enough. (

This series of books (six, as usual) is about a townhouse that is rented out every 'season' (the time of the year when young ladies are paraded at all sorts of parties and balls, in order to acquire a husband). The servants are the highlight of the series, and I would highly recommend this book and the series. (
