Frederica is fed up of her restricted life in the Waverley house on Hanover Square. When Lord Harry Danger enters their lives and saves them from thieves, her mind wanders to what could be. Will Frederica get her happily ever after like Fanny did?
Modern notions are all well and good - but
where does one find a man to share them?
A good second volume although I felt there was some repetition, like the men the girls are interested in trying to find out more about them by going to the orphanage and Harry being another Lord.
There is something about the girls past though. The fact that the orphanage wont share any information and went to the effort to inform Mrs Waverley that they had been trying to find out things.
And there's definitely something going on with Mrs Waverley and the Prince Regent. The way the avoid each other - I just want to know more!
First indication of a time - it's set in the early 19th century.
I was very surprised that Mrs Waverley married Colonel Bridie! After all she's brought the girls up to believe about being independent and having a good education for themselves, and that they don't need men in their lives. A bit hypocrital really.
I really hope we get answers in the last one!
Overall rating
