Description
Amy and Effie Tribble, two charming but impoverished spinster sisters, have turned their fortunes around by offering themselves as professional chaperones. After losing out on an inheritance, they placed an advertisement in The Morning Post, vowing to prepare young women for marriage. Their latest client seems like the perfect candidate - Maria Kendall is beautiful, mannered, and well-dowered. However, things take a turn when the Tribble sisters meet Maria's parents, who are struggling with their daughter's overbearing nature. As the London season progresses, the Tribbles' School for Manners becomes a crucial factor in helping Maria navigate her relationships and social expectations. But will their efforts be enough to tame Maria's wild spirit, or will she prove to be more challenging than they anticipated? This humorous novel explores the complexities of social class, family dynamics, and personal growth, all set against the vibrant backdrop of 19th-century London society.
