The Mad Herringtons
When sensible Aphrodite Herrington, long considered the "responsible one" in her outrageous, passionate family, takes two of her sisters and heads for the country estate of her proper, but dull, prospective fianc  to be approved of by his mother, she has no idea that her lifeDand her self-imageDis about to undergo a major adjustment. But when her lovely, flirtatious sister falls in love with her intended and the disreputable rake that "Ditie" loved years ago appears on the scene, things take a more interestingDand definitely more romanticDturn. Three charmingly mismatched couples and a cast of whacky characters (including a rather nasty mother who looks like a toad and lives at Windwillow) add interest to this funny Regency version of A Midsummer's Night's Dream. Despite the refusal of the heroine to see the obvious and a few too many point-of-view changes, The Mad Herringtons should appeal to readers who like their Regencies light, lively, and humor-filled. This is Perrine's first book, and she lives in Houston, TX.
