Summary

The Ugly Duckling meets the Gothic novel.

A plain governess, a romantic Miss, a stern but handsome guardian involved in a midnight chase, a woman dressed in britches, and a gloomy castle. Throw in a bit of Vivaldi and some French philosophy, and you have it all!

When Marianne's father dies, she and her governess Rosemary are forced to go and live with her guardian, the Earl of Tyndell.

The Earl has strict ideas about how young ladies should behave. He isn't impressed by the romantic notions Marianne has absorbed straight from the pages of a Gothic novel. And her governess is not only dowdy, but perfectly ready to put him in his place, especially regarding his ideas about the education of women. But when the Earl's interest in Rosemary blossoms just as Marianne falls in love with the last person he would ever agree to her marrying, where will it all end?

Listen to Rosemary or Too Clever to Love to see how this tangle is sorted out. In spite of its light hearted and often humorous tone, this charming novel raises serious questions about women's education and philosophy.

Lovely story

Sweet, predictable but very well written. The ending was a bit anti-climactic and a professional narrator would have done more justice to the story.
