Another captivating Mansfield

I must admit that I'm partial to Elizabeth Mansfield's books: I have yet to pick one up and be disappointed. This book is no exception.The premise of this book is that 19-year-old Ada's young brother has disappeared. When her older brother gives up on the search after one day, Ada decides she will have to find her brother. However, she decides it is safer to search as a young man, not an unaccompanied young woman. Enter Derek, a jaded (but not irredeemable) lord who deduces Ada's deception. His conscience prevents him from letting the spunky lady venture alone so he tags along for the search. As the search leads across the countryside and London, Ada and Derek realize they are falling in love. However, before true love can be found, many other problems must be worked out, including revealing Ada's gender deception.This book has a wonderful, forward-moving plot and very lovable characters, especially Ada and Derek but also the varied cast of secondary characters. Superb writing makes this a treasure in itself. If you can find a copy of this book, keep it--you won't regret spending the time reading this one.
