“Suddenly the thought that the end of her life was imminent shocked him; it was one thing to pity someone he didn’t know, quite another to face the same dilemma with someone he knew intimately. That was the trouble with beds. They turned strangers into intimates more quickly than ten years of polite teas in parlors.”
Sometimes fairy tales can come true—even for plain, shy spinsters like Missy Wright. Neither as pretty as cousin Alicia nor as domineering as mother Drusilla, she seems doomed to a quiet life of near poverty at Missalonghi, her family’s pitifully small homestead in Australia’s Blue Mountains. But it’s a brand new century—the twentieth—a time for new thoughts and bold new actions. Missy Wright is about to set every self-righteous tongue in the town of Byron wagging because she has just set her sights on a mysterious, mistrusted, and unsuspecting stranger who just might be Prince Charming in disguise.
Read Alikes for The Ladies of Missalonghi: The Blue Castle by L.M. Montgomery; I Capture the Castle by Dodie Smith; A Company of Swans by Eva Ibbotson; The Charm School by Susan Wiggs
