Sophia: A Romance — Stanley J. Weyman

It may be classified as a romance, but the heroine of Stanley J. Weyman's classic novel Sophia is no shrinking violet chomping on bonbons while waiting around to be saved by her Prince Charming. This action-packed story offers readers the best of both worlds: delightful lessons in the dos and don'ts of fashionable London society circa 1742, plus a page-turning series of events and plenty of plot twists.
