The secluded Winthrop Hopkins Female Academy (where the eight young heroines learn the graces necessary for a profitable marriage) sees an unexpected influx of eligible gentlemen. A tidy conclusion delivers some personal triumph for each young woman--and a few betrothals. This Keeping the Castle companion is as light and quick as the girls' playful banter. Kindl's command of the Regency voice and style never wavers.
