My Dear Duchess (Signet Regency Romance)

Rating:
Summary: A true romance. Rooting for Frederica all the way.
Review: Beautiful poor Frederica. She had been cast to the side in the shadow of her gorgeous blonde sister. What to do? A marriage of convience for Frederica? We'll see about that. With her spirit and liveliness she can prove that love conquers all. She is a model for all woman-kind (or man-kind). Her trials and tribulations make even a hard-core romance reader like me feel sympathy for her plight. This is a definite yes, in the "books to be read department". I would suggest that you read it alone and get comfy, it is a very enthralling novel.

I will be looking for more books by Marion Chesney.

In spite of the frightening, escalating heinous, mercenary obstacles hurdled in the newly weds' path, it was a romance novel, after all. Therefore, I was able to endure the pain, confusion and suffering of the young bride who had known virtually nothing but heart aches and slights all her life. MY DEAR DUCHESS, is a gripping tale I couldn't put down. Upon completing it, I felt renewed strength in life, fate and admiration for real women and men who aren't afraid to stare evil point-blank in the face and triumph over it with love, truth and the determination to do the right things regardless of how others think and conventionally behave in the upper societal strata.

The second striking feature of the book was the British version of the English language! Give me a break! Would somebody please send a few million Websters to the British Isles, so souls like myself can curl up and read without having to consult various references to understand what the author is really saying!

(Truth is, I enjoyed every word of the book. I love looking up facts, words and learning new things. That's why I have shelves and boxes full of references and the reference librarians phone number handy. The above paragraph is actually, just a tease to emphasize the difference, diverseness, and richness our mother tongue and the intriguing manner that its' employed in MY DEAR DUCHESS. The syntax and vocabulary of this narrative is an adventure worth the reading even if you're not into the romance genre. Furthermore, I absolutely adore and at times try to imitate the British: "the people that civilized the world." Thanks Brits and Ms. Chesney.)
