This book is hilarious, about a lady who is very into chickens. But her uncle makes her go to London to find a husband, when all she wants is to get back to her farm. So she starts telling outragous story\'s about herself trying to get her uncle to send her home, but she ends up attracting a Marquis and having an adventure before everything comes out right in the end.
I am not the world's greatest fan of lighter regencies; for me there is often too much unreality about them and the humor falls flat. This book, however, is an exception. I did laugh at Beth and her chickens, and I found her encounter with Farmer George quite poignant. The other elements of the story are rather predictable, but not unreasonable, and the tale flows smoothly. I would recommend this book to readers who like lighter fare.
