"Mansfield gives readers another classic treat with this charmingly sweet romance, a regency notable for its polished writing and gleaming wit" (Booklist). An arrogant spinster, a dashing rake, and an unsigned painting: The Girl With the Persian Shawl was a strangely bewitching masterpiece that had hung in the Rendell household for generations. Kate Rendell graciously let the dashing Lord Ainsworth view the work and was outraged when he dared to insinuate that the painting came into the family by nefarious means. She was unfazed that Lord Ainsworth left her estate believing she was little more than an arrogant spinster. But everything changed when she discovered that her beloved but flighty younger cousin was to be betrothed to . . . a rake! Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |

Casual gossip has Lord Ainsworth pegged as a rake who trifles with women’s affections so she tries to stay clear of him but this proves impossible when her cousin becomes betrothed to his best friend. There is a lot of coupling and uncoupling as Kate’s beautiful but fickle cousin falls first for one man than another, but eventually all the couples sort themselves out in time for a happy ending.
The Girl with the Persian Shawl is a charming story with plenty of romantic twists and turns although I found most of these twists quite predictable. I understand that not every author of this genre can be Georgette Heyer, but when it comes to Regency Romances, she is still the best at delivering the goods. ( )
