![]() Pen is 17 and has been living with her aunt’s family since she was orphaned at 12. This one may be overlooked because it is more of a caper novel than a romance. My Impression: Heyer is one of my favorite authors and The Corinthian deserves a place among her more obviously popular books. By the time Richard has sobered up, they are hours away on a stagecoach, heading to Pen’s childhood sweetheart, and to adventures neither expect but will fully embrace. They meet when Richard, having overindulged on what he thinks is his last night of freedom, is staggering home as Pen escapes from her aunt’s home – by the window – via knotted sheets that do not reach the ground. Penelope Creed, a young heiress, is being asked to marry her cousin, although his face reminds her of a fish. ![]() Description: Sir Richard Wyndham, a handsome and sophisticated man about town, is expected to propose to Melissa Brandon, the daughter of family friends in need of his fortune. ![]()
