Sir Ludwig called her “Rose Trelawney” because she had no memory of who she was. Awaking in a ditch in a snowstorm, “Rose” had eventually found safe haven at Sir Ludwig’s home as his sister’s... This description may be from another edition of this product.
I loved this novel. The characters are well-drawn, funny, interesting and mysterious. The fact that the main character suffers from amnesia at the beginning of the story could have been overplayed very easily. Instead, you believe her amnesia, you believe the family's reaction to this stranger in their midst. The clues to the real identity of "Rose Trelawney" don't appear, they are uncovered step-by-step by good detective work. Joan Smith has gone on to write modern mysteries, but I have to say that I enjoy her regency mystery/romances like this one very much.
