AbstractHistoryArchive Description

A colonial romance set in 1878. The poor but respectable, spirited and attractive 21 year-old Dolly Wentworth takes a position as children's companion with a widower to meet a husband. Her progress is told through letters to her sister, and she seems to have found a young handsome suitor in her employer's cousin until an accident reveals the true state of her heart. Divertingly light. (PB)
