This is an engaging (no pun intended) tale of the engagements of the three daughters of Lord and Lady Carroll. Each daughter is unique and the story surrounding their engagements is witty, charming, and just-not-long-enough. I have fewer than 5 books remaining to read of Barbara Metzger's booklist and I am growing anxious. What will I read next? Barbara is a master of humor and swift-moving, charming stories.
Of course, there has to be a dog in the story along with a wise butler (keeping the family steady). I disagree with some of the other reviewers of this novel about the 4th story (I'm not going to explain what it is; it's complicated and I want the author to explain it to the reader). This story gave Lady Carroll an opportunity to grow. It was the right thing to do but Lady Carroll was concerned about what others would think about it. As the story ended, I knew my faith in the goodness of this unique family was correct.
