Fun and well done

When Sophia, the widow of a successful tradesman, decides it is time for her family to make good marriages, she packs up and heads to London. But, she knows no one and the season is a disaster. Until she agrees to marry Joel, Lord Leyton, to give her a social position and him some much-needed cash. Through the good times and bad, Joel and Sophia learn that there is more to marriage than a license.This book had marvelous, consistent characters that the reader grows to care about. Even though the plot is fairly predictable, the reading is still a delight. And Lois Stewart has done an excellent job making the characters and situations realistic, especially the stubbornness and hard-headedness of Sophia.I highly recommend this book as a great way to pass an afternoon.
