Oh, this is just delightful!
Having slogged through a couple of very dull 21st C Regency romances, what a joy to find a 20th C one that knows its muslin from its sarsecenet and is so deftly and lightly put together. It’s the early 19th Century in England, and cousins Kate and Cecilia are writing each other letters - about balls, interfering aunts, the marriage market, magic, and the infuriating men who keep trying stop them *helping*.
Just the thing if you’re looking for a bit of escapism.
