YA
Althea's impoverished family's fate rests on her marriage, but there are formidable obstacles. The arrival of handsome Lord Boring and a party of friends from London sets the neighborhood aflutter. As mishaps pile up, Althea blithely meddles in others' romantic affairs while remaining endearingly obtuse about her own. Kindl effortlessly takes on the classic Regency romance in this witty novel.
