Reader reviewed by Tina.S

This is one of those rare books that you want to read again and again! Cecelia and Kate are two inseprable cousins who are separated when Kate goes to London for her first season and Cecy is stuck at home. In London, Kate is almost poisoned by a whitch and somehow finds herself in a sham betrothal to the mysterious marquis. In Essex, Cecelia befriends Dorothea, a young girl terrified of her stepmother and of being forced to marry the mysterious marquis. Strangly, all the young men in town are in love with her and her cousin Mr. Tarleton is doing a very bad job of spying on her. On top of all that Cecy's brother gets turned into a tree! Laugh as you watch Kate and Cecy work their way through the mess.
