In the Morland Dynasty series, the majestic sweep of English history is richly and movingly portrayed through the fictional lives of the Morland family. It is 1843, and after Charlotte’s father dies, she believes herself to be destitute. But a lawyer’s letter reveals she is not only a part of the Morland family, but wealthy and a countess in her own right. She is expected to make a great marriage, and with her vivacious cousin Fanny at her side she is launched into her first season. It is Fanny, the hardened flirt, who loses her heart first, while Charlotte catches the eye of Oliver Fleetwood, the most eligible man in London. But the season ends in disillusion, and Charlotte turns away from the life of idle amusement in search of something more substantial, though it involves flouting convention.

Thoroughly Hooked,

This review is from: The Hidden Shore (Morland Dynasty) (Paperback)
I am thoroughly enjoying this continuing of the Morland Saga. Since being introduced to this series by my sister in England I have become an addict. I try not to read the books too quickly and am only halfway through this one, hooked again!
Start at the beginning (Book 1) otherwise it has no continuity. I like the fact there are so many linking descendants in these books and the history that is attached to every one of them.
