Fans of Jane Austen should probably head to the shelves for this one.
Althea and her family live in the crumbling, leaking, haphazardly built faux castle in the town of Lesser Hoo. In order to keep their humble abode and make the necessary repairs, seventeen-year-old Althea must marry well. Of course the eligible area bachelors leave much to be desired. It isn't until Lord Boring arrives with his business manager, Mr. Fredericks, that there is any real possibility of a suitable match.
It's a fast, cute read, but ultimately offers nothing new. If you're really looking for some twists, try some of the latest Classic or Fairy Tale mash-ups. However, if you're looking for something to tide you over until the next season of Downton Abbey, this might fit the bill.
