The Making of a Marchioness

So wonderfully absurd as to be hilarious. I'm not sure if it was intended to be satirical when first published but given that the heroine is described as “ridiculous” on multiple occasions, I can reach no other conclusion.

A very enjoyable short novel, written in late Victorian era. Emily Fox-Seton is such a thoroughly enjoyable young woman, so glad to believe the best of others. In some ways she is a type of Pollyanna character herself, but without being conscious of it or rubbing it in other people's faces. Recommended as a pleasant, light read.
