Charlotte · The Practical Education of a Distressed Gentlewoman

Left destitute and alone in the country by her gambling father and brother, Charlotte DeVere is forced to put the family estate up for sale after their demise. The unspeakably vulgar Freddy Talbot purchases it and almost immediately his extended family takes up residence. Naively Charlotte flees to the city of Bath and then to London, hoping to meet the man of her dreams. Little does she realize that she already has.
