The Ugly Duckling- Playing Up The Real Values

I happened to find this in a used bookstore. I took one look at it and instantly fell in love with it. I bought it and took it home. My first impression was correct. The book is about a wealthy girl from a huge family with a superficial mother and scholarly, yet withdrawn, father. Deirdre prefers her poetry to the social whirl that her sisters and mother indulge in. When the mother takes the second batch of daughters for their first season in London, Deirdre has no choice but to go. Dressed in plain clothes that contrast roughly to her mother's and sister's, she drives into Town. However, when Deirdre meets and falls in love with a rich and handsome marquis, she decides to change. She has to choose; give up her poetry and live with the one she loves, or give up everything for her beloved poetry.I guess the thing I liked most about this book is that it stresses the positive virtues and morals that most people in this world still need to learn.
