The H cannot refuse and sends his cousin to marry the girl in his stead (some accepted olden practice) and bring his bride back to him. A date is set but history repeats itself/fate intervenes again in way of a call from the War office/ F.O. The father agrees as he’s in dire financial straits. Now he’s back and sends across a marriage proposal to her father.
The H and the sister almost married a few years ago but he had go off to war – leaving her hopping mad at the insult. And the H hankers after her till almost the end! I hated her but couldn’t carry on the hate for too long as she has a child like quality which is kinda appealing. It’s not for readers who don’t like triangles with sisters – because this one has it in a big way and the sister is present almost throughout and the author seems to be in love with the very spoiled, very self-centered and extraordinarily beautiful sister and seemed set on not only giving her a great guy, a hea but also a character development.
And this very treatment keeps you jumpy, antsy and hooked! This book has a tragi-comic undertone, hugely angsty but making light of it.
