This book was set in 1810 and I thought it was a great book. It reminded me of the Jane Austen novels. Curicle and Chaise is about Lydia Barrington, a damsel who has lost her parents and has no money. At eighteen she has to live with her callous aunt and uncle who do not let her forget that she is the "poor relation". There is the wicked cousin and the good looking neighbors who are interested in Lydia. Lydia has a younger sister Susan who is "backward". Susan has been sent to live with an aunt and her husband, a poor Vicar.Lydia feels responsible for Susan and when she is forced to leave her uncle's home, she begins to think of marrying an elder Lord, so she can take care of Susan. I really enjoyed this book and would recommend it to anyone who loves Jane Austen.
