Summary: Historical Romance just preRegency set in Bath
Review: Sheila Bishop set this book in 1766 five years after Beau Nash reigned in Bath. The heroine Sarah Cooper is given the chance to accompany two sisters to Bath to act as companion to the elder Cassie who is slightly lame, in poor health who is to take the waters. Fashionable Bath is twenty miles and a whole different world away. I particularly liked the character descriptions and the description of life in Bath. The sedan chairmen demanding higher than agreed fees when their clients were in no position to resist. As the plot unfolds Sarah finds not everyone behaves in the way that she expects. To quote the write up on the back of the book .... Sarah Cooper comes to fashionable Bath in 1766 to act as companion to delicate Cassie Fleetwood. Young and inexperienced, Sarah does not at first understand the kind of people she encounters. She makes some disastrous mistakes, and her honest determination to put things right leads to further trouble. Sarah's adventures give a fascinating picture of what it must have felt like to be a visitor in eighteenth century Bath.
