Review
Loving books and showing curiosity to many subjects, Lucy is affected by her father’s criticism. Even though he is dead, she feels compelled to act as society expects young women to behave. Roddy dreams of establishing a foundation to help his friends develop their scientific projects. There is an estate he hopes to buy independently. Ever since they were childhood friends, Roddy has held Lucy in warm regard. Unfortunately, Lucy feels her attraction to conversation with him reveals her intelligence. As she avoids him, she misses their interaction. Finally, both of them decide to help each other giving advice about those on their lists for betrothal. Their long friendship means they know each other better than anyone else. This project also gives them quality time together. Sharing their future goals reveals benefits each has to offer. When Roddy’s brother asks for their help in an important investigation, both of them see each other in a wider perspective. Intelligent conversation and witty banter forms these characters beyond being a frivolous party girl or a serious scholar ! Witty dialogue and logical conversation enriches the personality of these characters. Family members play strategic roles. This is a very engaging story.
