Eugenie's Story: 1893 (Swallowcliffe Hall)

This is the journal of Eugenie Vye: the prettiest debutante of the 1890 season, with hair she can sit on and a seventeen-inch waist €“ yet somehow three years later, still unmarried. Lord Vye€s daughter might be thought to want for nothing, but life isn€t easy on fifty guineas a year with a jealous stepmother watching one€s every move. Eugenie€s passionate nature and unerring ability to get hold of the wrong end of the stick land her in trouble as she follows her heart in pursuit of a husband. She hurtles from one near-disaster to another, rescued only by a sense of humour, unquenchable optimism and her dear American friend Julia €“ until finally discovering love was right under her nose all along.
