Summary

Chi è Frederica Merriville? È questa la domanda che si pone il marchese di Alverstoke quando una signorina, attraente e padrona di sé, si rivolge a lui perché l'aiuti a lanciare nella buona società di Londra la sua giovane e bellissima sorella Charis, e si prenda cura dei suoi fratelli ancora adolescenti. E perché Alverstoke, trentasettenne annoiato e molto ambito dalle donne, dovrebbe acconsentire alla richiesta di una parente lontana e sconosciuta come Frederica? Per far dispetto alle sue ambiziose sorelle? Perché conquistato dalla bellezza di Charis? O forse l'invulnerabile libertino di Londra ha trovato nell'affascinante, ostinata e affettuosa Frederica un'avversaria degna di lui?

Mai come in questo romanzo di Georgette Heyer (da anni introvabile nelle librerie italiane e ora riproposto da astoria in una nuova traduzione) la società, l'atmosfera e il particolare linguaggio dell'Inghilterra al tempo della Reggenza sono raffigurati in maniera fedele, ma al contempo vivace e sorprendente.
