Summary

Leaving behind the rural charms of Finnshire, Miss Penelope Fairweather arrives in London with hope in her heart and a dream in her eye. The dowager, no less, has invited her for a season in London, where she will attempt to catch a husband.

Thus begins our heroine’s tale as she attempts to tackle the London season with all her rustic finesse. Unfortunately her rustic finesse turns out to be as delicate as a fat bear trying to rip apart a honeycomb infested with buzzing bees.

What follows is a series of misadventures, love affairs, moonlit balls, fancy clothes, fake moustaches, highwaymen, sneering beauties, pickpockets, and the wrath of a devilishly handsome duke.

Totally unbelievable, but enjoyable.

This is not a story you can listen to twice, it is just so ridiculous. A Country Bumpkin turns up in the TON with a goat. Yet despite all the lessons about etiquette no one points out that goats don't fit in. She makes one ridiculous/ stupendous mistake after another, but still manages to remain respectable. Her coach into respectable society is a so called Homosexual, posing as a woman manture maker. Only a few know his secret, what he is gets more ridiculous.
Lets not get into the stupid house rules, the so called Hero, who is a bully, with a consciousness. The good hearted Highway Man, evil Stepmother and so on. As I said enjoyable, but totally unbelievable, could be set in any era, even a parallel universe. just not plausible in the time set.
