THE PARFIT KNIGHT

by Juliet Blyth ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 2, 1986

An agreeable first Regency novel, with a cheerful--and blind--beautiful heroine, a chatty pace with period touches, and a gentle humor. Denzil Ballantyne, Marquis of Amberley, finds himself happily snowed in in the isolated estate presided over by lovely Rosalind Vernon, whose brother, hot-headed Philip, is loath to subject his blind sister to the vagaries of London society. Affections of Rosalind and Denzil tally, and honorable intentions are explained to honorable Philip. However, it seems that the Marquis is the very one who ten years before might have caused the accident that blinded Rosalind. Guilts, rages, tears of frustration predictably ensue. There'll be cross purposes and cross people--including Rosalind, in London--horrid deeds by Philip's horrid future brother-in-law and a duel. There's also a parrot that shoots seeds with deadly aim. And, of course, there's the tidy ending. Soft, airy, comfy.
