The story continues with this second book in the Rosings series with the tale of Lydia. After her disgrace she is sent to Mrs. Drummond boarding school for basically fallen females. Can Lydia change and learn where she went wrong, can there ever be a happy ending for her.
I really enjoyed the story and the style of writing was a joy to read. Hoping there will be another in the series. Though I think I might have to go back and re-read the first book.

I will start off by saying that Lydia has never been one of my favorite characters from Pride and Prejudice. But Ms. Grace has done a fantastic of redeeming the youngest Bennet daughter in my eyes. I've always believed that Lydia and Wickham were never a good fit and that they should have ended up with different partners. The idea of Lydia being sent off to school to better herself has always in my mind been a good idea. Actually I think Kitty needs to be sent too but that's just my opinion.

In this book Lydia does start off as a unappreciative brat but she grows into this mature young woman who I wouldn't mind calling a friend. I also loved Mr. Anderson as a suitor for her. I enjoyed that he had a scandalous past just like the girls at the school. This novel is a great addition to The Queen of Rosings Park series and I'm looking forward to the next in the series.

Rating: 4½ stars out of 5
