The Dresden Finch
by Jessica StirlingSophy Richmond at 20 had beauty, breeding and an unpromising future. Her new step-mother's hostility drove her out into the world and gave her the opportunity to break away-- permanently. Accompanied by her ambitious governess, Miss Frampton, Sophy began to see something of the world, never suspecting that an early indiscretion with a dashing young hussar might be the very thing her scheming governess needed to make her life miserable. Her nine-month retreat from the social scene did not, however, prevent a wealthy man from proposing marriage, and Sophy's life suddenly seemed secure. From her comfortable surroundings and cozy existence, Sophy was protected from the seamy backstreets of Victorian London where baby-farming was a profitable venture and infants, cast aside by "respectable folk," were brutally mistreated. But when Miss Frampton's plot became evident, and idle gossip threatened to ruin Sophy's reputation, the young woman who had once cared only for life's delights was forced to examine her alternatives and make some fascinating choices. This romantic and colorful novel offers many surprises--Sophy's life in Victorian England and the solutions she finds to her problems will keep readers talking long after they have finished the book.
