Summary
Cassie, the youngest of six daughters in the Wilton family, is bold, bright, and ready to enter society. There's only one problem: her older sister, Lenora, whose extreme shyness prevents her from attending many social events. Lenora is now entering her third season, and since their father has decreed that only one Wilton girl can be out at a time, Cassie has no choice except to wait her turn.
Evan Glenside, a soft-spoken East London clerk, has just been named his great-uncle's heir, and though he is eager to learn all that will be required of him, he struggles to feel accepted in a new town and in his new position.
A chance meeting between Evan and Lenora promises to change everything, but when Lenora proves too shy to pursue the relationship, Cassie begins to write Mr. Glenside letters in the name of her sister. Her good intentions lead to disaster when Cassie realizes she is falling in love with Evan. But then Evan begins to court Lenora, thinking she is the author of the letters.
As secrets are revealed, the hearts of Cassie, Evan, and Lenora are tested. Will the final letter sent by the vicar's daughter be able to reunite the sisters as well as unite Evan with his true love?

Started well but became boring
When American authors write about England it might be worth employing an editor to weed out major anachronisms. There are no corrals in the UK. That was the most glaring mistake but transposing American social behaviour into 19th century England is unconvincing. Ladies didn’t meet for quilting. In Britain we write to people. We don’t write them. We look out of the window, not, out the window. Non of this would matter at all if the book wasn’t meant to be set in England. I was not expecting the very moralistic, religious bent of the story either. It was like an improving Victorian novel. All in all there was a very promising plot in this book which disappointingly failed to be taken advantage of.
The narrator had a lovely voice but would have been better to use her soft normal accent than try to mimic an English one. It came out stilted. I wish this book had lived up to expectations. It could have been so much better.
