I wish I could say this story was entertaining, but it was just sad, even the ending was sad. The only positive thing in this story is the vibrancy of well written characters. It's a Cinderella story without the evil stepsisters, and without any hidden nobility of the woman, like Cinderella is the baron's daughter forces to slavery. Jenny is just a lady's maid and got caught up in a scheme where all she wanted to do was deliver a letter to her mistress at a ball. It's where nobility plays with the servants in a scheme where everyone gets hurt. The one thing that is well written in this book is the consequences of the Duke marrying a lady's maid. Such is the happily ever after of such a marriage. The extended epilogue explains all the consequences but makes them seem unimportant. Love may conquer all, but in real life all you may end up with is each other, no friends and being a social pariah.
