A LADY'S GUIDE TO SCANDAL by Sophie
Irwin (A Lady's Guide to Fortune-Hunting) is light
and fluffy, a welcome diversion from some of the heavier subjects I have been reading
lately. Once again, Irwin transports readers to a time when social mores in
England dictated the period of mourning, the colors a woman could wear, and the
events she could attend. Eliza (Lady Somerset), recently widowed after an
arranged marriage, is gifted with an inheritance which allows her to pursue a
more carefree lifestyle with her companion and cousin, Margaret. Of course,
there is the hint of heart palpitating romance – both with a former, once-jilted
suitor and someone new and totally unsuited in the view of the ton. That
leads to witty dialogue and amusing adventures, sure to please Irwin’s growing
number of fans.
