Summary: Charming, and witty; a story we can all relate to....
Review: Ever feel like the ugly duckling in a room full of swans? I'm sure we all have, and the heroine of this story has a simple, yet extraordinarily noticeable problem... she's very, very tall. Sent off to the "School for Manners" her parents hope she will "stumble" her way into a suitable match. Prospective suitors take one look and run, not to mention the trouble coming her way from envious ladies of the competition.

Summary: Chesney at her humourous best - Finessing Clarissa!
Review: 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!
