Lady
Pamela
By Amy Lake
Lord
Benjamin Torrance (the Duke of Grentham), lately returned from his
estates in Virginia, meets Lady Pamela Sinclair at the wedding of
his cousin. They develop
an acquaintance that rapidly develops into stronger feelings.
Pamela
had been the mistress of the Earl of Ketrick for three years, and
this becomes a barrier between them. Lady
Amanda Detwieler, close friend of Pamela, sets the wheels in motion
to bring the two together, and thwarts his almost engagement to
Lady Millicent.
This
is a lighthearted trip into the world of Regency society. The world
of high society and its mores is well presented. The relationship
between the Duke and his employees is pictured with humor. The morals
and double standards of the Regency period are developed with their
impact on the lives of Benjamin, Pamela and Millicent. The
story is well written with clever and witty dialogue.
