Das Herz einer Lady. Roman

The 34-year-old Emily Fox-Seton, from a once-noble but now impoverished family, makes her way in London by carrying out confidential tasks and errands for aristocratic clients. Through her mentor, Lady Maria Bayne, she meets her cousin Lord Walderhurst at a summer party, a wealthy widower who promptly falls in love with Emily and proposes to her. With the wedding, Emily's boldest dreams come true, especially since she will soon give the Lord the longed-for heir. However, Emily's happiness also attracts envy, as Lord Walderhurst's relatives have their own plans for the expected heir.

From the author of the worldwide bestsellers "Little Lord Fauntleroy" and "The Secret Garden." A charming story full of keen observations. A romantic Cinderella tale and at the same time an entertaining treatise on the marriage market. With its unsentimental view of men, women, and the marriage market, this fairy tale for adults evokes the works of Edith Wharton.
