Ladysmead

"A Clergyman of small independent means, who has seven daughters, cannot expect them all to marry to advantage." So begins this tale of regency England, where manners and morals in a country village give way to flirtation and folly. For Sophia the prospect of marriage fades when she must take over the care of her father's household and her youngest sister Lucinda. But this will change as the neighbouring house, called Ladysmead, is rented by the interfering Mrs Norris and her beautiful niece Maria.
Capturing Jane Austen's style with fun and accuracy, Ladysmead revives Mansfield Park's Mrs Norris and carries the story of her scandalous niece to satisfying fruition.
