the other book review

The Corinthian Richard Wyn­d­ham is des­tined to marry a woman he doesn’t really like because both the fam­i­lies will ben­e­fit by this arrange­ment. The night before he is going to ask her hand, he spends in a pub. Going home a lit­tle tipsy, he sees how a young per­son climbs out of a win­dow with a robe that is too short. Richard helps by catch­ing her…yes, it is a girl! A girl on the run for her arranged marriage.

That is the start of a strange adven­ture full of theft, mur­der, and of course romance.

A very enjoy­able book. Noth­ing too seri­ous, but it has sharp and funny dia­logues. The char­ac­ters are lik­able and are a per­fect mix of tra­di­tion and a new gen­er­a­tion that wants more out of life than arranged marriages.
