Product Details

Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

In the fourth volume in the School for Manners series, we meet another of the young ladies deemed unsuitable for the marriage mart because of some awkward attribute. This time it is the remarkably clumsy Clarissa Vevian, whose Junoesque proportions and flame-colored hair make her a daunting prospect for marriage-minded dandies. Dispatched to London by her despairing family, she is taken in hand by the redoubtable Tribble sisters, Amy and Effie, who tutor, groom and pummel her into shape for an accident-ridden debut. When the Earl of Greystone, a most eligible bachelor, finds the unconventional, freckle-faced beauty entrancing, we know the Tribbles can relax until the next client appears. With customary grace, Chesney charms with this latest Regency froth.

5.0 out of 5 stars Chesney at her humourous best - Finessing Clarissa!, Aug 30 2002
By S. D'Souza (Mississauga, Ontario Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Finessing Clarissa (Paperback)
Finessing Clarissa was my first experience with Marion Chesney as a Regency Romance Author, and since then I have been hooked. The School of Manners Volume #4 is a humourous tale of a young lady who has the unfortunate problem of being a clumsy miss, with no self confidence. Her parents a rather estranged pair, despair of her ever making a good match in the marriage mart. However, the two spinister's who run the School of Manners vow to make Clarissa stunning, self confident and endearing. Their aim, to secure her a handsome aristocrate's hand in marriage. The story as it unfolds is just plain funny with a romantic thread that keeps this, and any other Chesney novel, very entertaining. Hoping you enjoy Chesney's brand of Regency!
