The Runaway Bride: A Lyme Park Scandal | Felicity York

2 posts | 1 read | 1 reading

Only the boldest of ladies risks her heart and her reputation . . . Growing up at Shrigley Hall as the loving daughter to doting parents, 16-year-old Ellen Turner is the last girl one would expect to elope with a stranger. Yet when Ellen vanishes from her boarding school in Liverpool in the arms of the rugged scoundrel Edward Wakefield, and the pair are sighted together in a carriage racing from Gretna Green to the Port of Dover, everyone from her classmates to her childhood sweetheart Thomas Legh to her own family is forced to question her motives for such a wild transgression. When the newlyweds at last appear in court, with Thomas as magistrate, the rumours fly out of control. He says she planned the whole scandal. She says she had no choice. Who will society believe?

A unique twist on the Regency romance that is based on a true story. Ellen is abducted by a fortune hunter, who convinces her that the only way to save her father from financial ruin is to marry him at Gretna Green. Finally rescued, she agrees to face the notoriety associated with seeking an annulment. The villain makes Mr. Wickham look like an amateur! I enjoyed the story, which has a satisfying ending, but reading the historical note👇

Lynnsoprano is very sobering, as it points out the reality of life in the 19th century. 12mo

This came up in my daily Bookbub email, and I pulled the trigger. It sounds interesting and is based on a true story. I bailed on the last romance I tried, hoping for better luck with this.
