A review by lory_enterenchanted
The Smile of the Stranger by Joan Aiken

adventurous emotional funny tense

3.5

 Aiken channels Georgette Heyer here concerning the education of a naive young girl, who must realize that reality is better than idealistic dreaming. Aiken makes use of those Regency tropes, from the loveable rake to the comedy-of-errors elopement, with her own inimitable flair.  Great fun.
