A School for Brides

*"Mark my words. If something drastic is not done, none of us shall ever marry. We are doomed to die old maids, objects of pity and scorn to all we meet. That shall be our fate, so long as we remain in Lesser Hoo!"* THE WINTHROP HOPKINS FEMALE Academy has one purpose: to train its students in the feminine arts, with an eye toward getting them married off. There are two problems, however. The academy is in a Yorkshire backwater, far from anywhere...and there are virtually no eligible men. *A School for Brides* is the very funny saga of how the eight Winthrop Hopkins girls manage to get around those constraints, and how those of marriageable age snare the man (or future) of their dreams. Set in the same English town as *Keeping the Castle*, here's the kind of witty tribute to classic Regency novels that could only come from the pen of Patrice Kindl. This description comes from the publisher. *A School for Brides* is the companion to *Keeping the Castle*.
