In 1750 Scotland, just four years after Bonnie Prince Charlie's Rising of the Clans, it's hard to know who's loyal to the English and who is faithful to the Stuarts. And it's beautiful... This description may be from another edition of this product.
Possibly so! The parts with the French people are icky, but the descriptions of shoes and horses are fabulous-- and you'll sigh with envy when you read about the sink with the stained enamel! Only Cartland can whisk you out of normal life and into a realm of slightly retarded temptresses and virile hairy MEN: real MEN who don't wear pomade and drink bad beer. Sit down, light up a snifter, and read "The Little Pretender." You won't know whether you like it 'til you've read it (or a portion of it if you don't like it and set it aside and forget about it).
Classic Cartland!

Spy, cry, and sigh...one of Dame Barbara's classic novels is reprinted for our pleasure. This novel features an interesting, historically accurate setting and plot, a plucky, yet innocent heroine, and a Duke to die for, of course!
