About this ebook
Set in a secret academy nestled in the Regency era English countryside holds the key to finding love in the most unconventional way.
“It is a truth universally acknowledged that a reader with a passion for the Regency novels of Jane Austen must be in want of similar fare . . . A witty young-adult comedy of manners . . . It merits the most fulsome praise.”—The Washington Post
They’re being groomed for their future grooms.
The Winthrop Hopkins Female Academy has one purpose: to train its students in the feminine arts, with an eye toward getting them married off. There are two problems, however. The academy is in a Yorkshire backwater, far from anywhere . . . and there are virtually no eligible men. How can eight Winthrop Hopkins girls manage to get around those constraints and snare the man (or future) of their dreams?
