Description
When the heir to an imposing English estate dies unexpectedly, the proud and fractious Darracott family is forced to welcome an estranged Yorkshire cousin they know only by reputation. His arrival unsettles the household’s rigid assumptions and exposes the tensions, rivalries, and concealed vulnerabilities beneath its polished manners. Set against the Regency world of country estates, social rank, and family obligation, this witty novel combines romance, adventure, and sharply observed comedy. With period-perfect dialogue and a keen eye for human folly, it offers an entertaining study of identity, loyalty, and the dangers of judging by appearances.
