This book brings to light the unforeseen challenges faced by the Misses Edgcombe when their devoted butler of many years gives notice of his intent to marry and settle down. Once the initial shock subsides, the sisters realize that this may be an opportunity in disguise. With no family to speak of and little hope for new connections, the sisters decide that one of them must marry the butler in order to keep him in their lives and maintain their comfortable way of living. What follows is a delightful exploration of societal norms, the meaning of family, and the power of love to overcome all obstacles. Through letters, journal entries, and witty dialogue, the author delves into the intricacies of Victorian society, where appearances and social standing often trumped personal happiness. Ultimately, this book shows that love can blossom in the most unexpected of places and that sometimes, breaking with tradition can lead to the most fulfilling of outcomes.
